Rearranging the layout of the echo presentations

Each operating mode is presented with a set of views. These are placed at different positions with different sizes. With the Docking Views function you can move and re-size the views in the display presentation.

The physical location and size of each view can be changed individually. The content in a view that changes size will automatically be adjusted to take full advantage of the space available.

Procedure

We recommend that you first save your current user settings.
When a complete reorganisation of the view positions and sizes have been completed, you may wish to restore the presentation to what it was before you changed it. You must use the User Settings dialog box to do this. We suggest that you save your current user settings before you activate the Docking Views function.
1. Observe the Main menu.
2. Select User Settings.
3. Select Save Current Setting.
4. Type a name.
5. Select OK to save the chosen name.
6. Select OK to close the dialog box.
Open the Display menu.
Set Docking Views to On.
Click in the title bar of the view that you want to move.
The frame of the selected view will change colour to indicate that it has been selected.
Press the mouse button, and keep it depressed to drag the selected view to another position in the ST90 presentation.
The docking positions show you where to drag and drop the selected view. Any view can be selected, and then repositioned as indicated by the docking positions.
