- Hi
Tip of today will be on using the possibility to change settings on the CUI to easily manage your different screen resolutions.
I do frequently switch between the resolutions 1024x768, 1280x1024 and 1600x1200 and every time I switch I have to move/modify all dialogs on screen in Civil - Toolspace here, Catalogs here, command line at bottom and so on.
Then I noticed that a solution to that is setting up a set of CUI where I can easily switch and all toolbars etc will automatically go to the proper place.
In the screenshot below you can see the toolbar where it says "Civil 3D Complete". Click on the arrow next to it and you'll see all pre-set settings to choose from.
In my case I have created a few called "C3D OC ....." where I have different settings depending on what I want to have available when using different resolutions on my screen.
Use the "Customize..." at the bottom of this drop down list.
After that is done (created your own pre-set of CUI) you might consider changing "Workspace settings" (below)
Here it's a good idea to have "Automatically save workspace changes" turned on. Otherwise the program will not save your changes if you turn on a toolbar etc in your session.
Hope that will help someone saving a couple of seconds now and then... ;-)
Have a nice weekend! // Ove C
