8.4.5 Preloading viewers
To reduce the time for the FRG viewers to display the desired source on the desired position with the desired
decoration when being launched via loading a layout with these viewers, it is recommended to invisible preload
these viewers.
For each instance of the viewer, the respective shortcut has to be defined in the
database.
To define the viewer shortcut in the database, proceed as follows:
• Open the layout database.
• On the tree view, select the nod Shortcuts.
• Select Edit|Insert Shortcut
• The Shortcut properties dialog pops up. Specify all properties for the viewer
Now these shortcuts can be inserted into the various layouts.
To shorten the activation time when launching the FRG viewers, define a special invisible layout with the FRG
viewers only.
Insert a window for every FRG viewer in the project.
Define the window properties (position, window state, size) as desired.
To save activation time when launching a viewer in a layout, the specified properties of the
invisible viewer windows should completely be the same as required later, especially with re-
spect to position, size and window state!
