The menu also includes the item Configure Viewer Sources. Basically the viewer sources and the sources for the
digital streams are those defined in the local project in the file Viewersources.ini and the DigitalStream-
Sources.ini, respectively.
It is possible to ignore these files, or to select viewer source files different from the default files.
Use the command Settings|Configure Viewer Sources to select different files for the viewer sources and the
digital streams.
The following dialog is displayed
Uncheck the respective configuration file to ignore it.
Double click on the entry, or click on Change to browse for a different file.
Activate your modification by clicking Apply.
These modifications are stored in the user specific files. (Windows NT: ….\WinNT\Profile\User Name or. Win-
dows 2000:… \Documents and Settings\User Name), using the subfolder … \Local Settings\Application
Data\Apollo).
If you edit the .ini-files while the Layout Editor is running, modifications will ony be visible
in the Layout Editor after clicking Reset all. There is no automatic update of the file
entries!
The command Options opens a dialog to define the behavior when deleting objects, the initial size of inserted
windows and how viewers are to be integrated. Customize the behavior to your needs by selecting/unselecting
the respective options.
