    Graphics

    The options affect the behaviour of EBSILON®Professional while editing the cycles.

    It has settings:

    In the sub-chapter ”Graphics” there are five Check Boxes:

    • Normalizing pipelines on insertion
    • Moving complete pipeline sections with connecting components
    • connect automatically new inserted connectors

      When there are two connectors with the same identification in a model, one of which has an inlet that has not been connected yet, and the other has an outlet of the
      same line type that has not been connected yet, a connection between the two connectors is established by means of the button “Connect auto-connectors”. 
      When you remove a line, the connection is cut again, the components go back to their original shape and calculate like Component 33.

               
    • Notification on discarding undo-information
    • Activating a snap radius when connecting objects:
      selection areas: Radius
      / Metric           

    In addition, there are two selection areas:

     

                      

     

            

    See insert objects, insert pipelines or edit pipelines.


    Normalization of streams

    If the checkbox "Normalize streams on insertion and import" is activated, EBSILON®Professional will normalize the inserted pipelines automatically perpendicularly (so that its sections run horizontally and vertically).

    Example:

    "Normalize streams on insertion and import" disabled

    "Normalize streams on insertion and import" enabled

    If this option is deactivated, you can normalize the pipe later on by selecting the pipeline and selecting the option "Normalize pipeline" from the context-menu by using the right-mouse button. This also removes superfluous intermediate points.


    Moving Pipeline Sections

    The check box ”Allow Ebsilon to move stream sections” determines what EBSILON®Professional will do when you move components with pipelines connected.

    If activated, EBSILON®Professional will move not only the stream section nearest to the component you move, but also move other stream sections. This enables EBSILON®Professional, to keep the sections orthogonal.

    If not activated, only the stream section nearest to the component will be modified (stretched, shortened, rotated).

    The following example shows a two section stream. The following happens, when you move the upper right component (a throttle, component number 2, in the DIN-display with the shape modification 2):


    Storage of Undo-information

    If the check box ”Notify, if undo-information is/was discarded” is activated, you will get a message when EBSILON®Professionaldiscards the undo-information.

    Normally, for each action that you perform in the graphics, an undo information is stored. You may use the ”Undo” command to restore the previous state of the graphics.

    If the storing of the undo information fails, you cannot do an ”Undo” for the corresponding action. If the checkbox is activated, you will be notified about this fact. Else, you must always keep this in mind (unless you really want to perform this ”Undo”).


    Using the arrow keys

    In the check box "Arrow Keys move" one can define the way in which the arrow keys can be used:


    Snap radius

    If the check box "Radius" is activated in the area "Snapping", you can approach a suitable connection point of a component by drawing a line, and the free end of the line will snap up to connect with the connection point. This is useful, because this way it is not necessary to position the line exactly on the connection point.

    The snapping radius determines the distance from the connection point where the snapping is active.

    The metrics for the radius are set as follows:


     

    Text-/Value-fields 

     

    Button: Text-/Value Field standard font

     Checkbox "Fixed Font-Size" for Value Field

     

    Data

    Macro Filter-Tag:

    In the sub-chapter "Data" there is a selection area

     to a macro from one of the sections of the macro database to select and hide others.

    Auto-Naming Infix

    For designing automatic naming of objects can one digit number from 0 to 8, a letter will be prefixed.


    There are two Check Boxes: 

    Automatically undock EbsScript-Editor from dialogs

    This flag only concerns the component 93 (Kernel Scripting).

    Copy SRx-Tags  

     

    Property-Pages

    Select with hook!

     

    Enabling of extended component/pipe property-pages

    There is the possibility to hide rarely used tabs of the component properties pages. This applies to the tabs SRx, Calculation, View, Extended Options,
    and Adaptation Polynomial.

    This setting can also be made in the properties window itself.
