CIMPLICITY1. General Features that can be Shared Globally
Select the General tab in the Global Configuration dialog box.
Features that can be selected to always be shared globally in CimEdit and/or CimView are as follows.
| 1 | Default runtime project. |
| 2 | Navigation. |
| 3 | Object Explorer directories. |
| 4 | Link named objects as default. |
| Default runtime project |
The selected project is the project that CIMPLICITY will use to request data for all unqualified points.
The Default runtime project field Is a convenient way to implement the /project command line option. However, if a project is also selected using the /project command, that project will override the project selected in the Default runtime project field.
If no project is selected using either method, the system uses present behavior.
| Navigation |
CimView can include a customized Navigation menu bar that guides users through the CimView screens that they to which they need access.
A screen designer can use the Navigation section to open the Navigation Configuration Editor to configure items on and computer access to the Navigation menu.
| Object Explorer directories |
Object Explorer folders contain *.cim screens that make up a library of objects, from basic shapes to complicated configurations, that can be used to rapidly design and configure CimEdit screens.
The Object explorer directories box provides a way to identify where the folders are located, if one or more locations are different from the default location.
| Link named objects as default |
CimEdit supports the ability to create one or more linked objects from a single source object.
Checking or clearing Link named objects as default determines how a screen designer will create links to a source object .
