Tools in the Custom View Editor
With the Custom View Editor open, you will find the tools for creating your custom views in the menus at the top
of the screen, the row of toolbar icons below the menus, and the toolbox and properties windows.
Toolbar Icons
The
FFoorrmmaatt
window provides three alignment functions not available in the toolbar. Align to grid moves the
selected component to line up with the nearest grid lines. Size to grid adjusts the size of the component so the
top-left corner of the component fits evenly within the surrounding grid lines. Snap to grid, when turned on,
moves components as they are placed so that they line up with the nearest grid lines.
In the
TToooollss
window, select
Customize to edit the menu bar and toolbar functions. Selecting
OOppttiioonnss
allows you
to adjust the size of each grid square. Smaller grid squares allow more precise component placement using the
Align, Size and Snap to grid functions.
Custom View Settings
Each custom view has general settings that you define in the Properties window (click the View Properties icon to
show or hide the Properties window). The Custom View Settings tab is available when no custom view
components are selected. Click a blank area in the Custom View Editor to deselect a component and see the
Custom View Settings tab.
In the View Name and Category fields, specify a name for the custom view and assign it a category. The name
and category will appear in the View List, and are unrelated to the file name you choose when you save the
custom view.
