Using the Options Menu

If more than one user uses the same JADE initialization file on the client, they will share the same values for parameters in the [JadeInspector] section.

To replace the saved position and size with the default position and size

Select the Clear Saved Position/Size command from the Options menu if you want to use the default position and size for Inspector forms.

When the next Inspector form is opened, the default position and size will be used.

To save the current position and size of the form

Select the Save Position/Size command from the Options menu if you want to save the current position and size of the form.

This information, which is used to position and size any subsequent Inspector forms that are displayed, is stored in the WindowPos parameter in the [JadeInspector] section of the JADE initialization file.

To re‑use the same form to display the selected object (applies to version 2016.0.01 and higher)

Select the Use Same Window command from the Options menu.

By default, the same Inspector form is not used (that is, this command in unchecked, or unselected), so that each double‑click of an object in an Inspector form opens a new Inspector form.

When the Use Same Window command is checked, each double‑click of an object in an Inspector form re‑uses the same form to display the selected object, replacing the previously displayed object. A pane at the left of the form contains a hierarchical list box displaying all of the objects that have previously been inspected. The hierarchy indicates the history of how the objects were inspected. The entries display the value of the name property if it exists in the object, followed by the class name and the JADE object identifier (oid). Clicking on an entry in the hierarchical history list at the right of the form displays the selected object again.

The value of this setting (that is, true or false) is information is stored in the UseSameWindow parameter in the [JadeInspector] section of the JADE initialization file.

To specify the font used to display text in the Inspector form

Select the Font command from the Options menu if you want to change the default font from Tahoma, regular, 8.25 points.

The common Font dialog is then displayed, to enable you to make your font selections. When you have selected your required font options, focus is then returned to the Inspector form.

To toggle the display of the collection properties list box

Select the Show Collection Properties command from the Options menu.

The collection properties list box is then displayed or removed from the form and the check mark on the menu item displayed or removed.
