Control Bar

Toolbar icon names appear when the mouse is positioned over them.

The Control Bar allows individual controls to be placed into the Surface. These controls are

categorized strictly by available control types: Picture

; Frame; Edit; Edit-Spin; Button; Toggle

Button; Fader; Meter; LED; Grid; Dialer Control, Graph; Paging; and Hotspot.

Each control type is represented by an icon. To place an object, first click on the appropriate

icon, then simply click at the desired location in the Surface. With certain control types, this will

produce a pop-up window of configuration options, which must match the component being

controlled. Then, Data Attributes

must also be assigned to match the component being

controlled. NOTE: Components may instead be copied from a compiled Audia or Nexia design

file, and pasted directly into the daVinci Surface, eliminating the need to manually set component

options and Data Attributes.

The Control Bar also provides the option of either a select cursor or a text cursor. The select

cursor (default) is for object selection, placement, and manipulation. The text cursor is for placing

static text objects into the Surface. Text can then be manipulated via the Property Sheet

Toolbars are opened/closed and customized via the View Menu, and may be positioned as

desired.
