These are the primary areas in the VPM interface. Each of these areas is explained in the following sections.
Icons
Icons are used throughout Impact software. In some cases the icon is informative, in others it indicates a but-
ton that performs an action when you click it. This list of icons (sorted alphabetically by tool tip) shows the
tool tip and a cross reference to the icon’s meaning. Each tool and system object also has a tool tip. Tools are
explained starting on page 3-38.
