Using The Software 96

You can show or hide the various elements of the toolbar. The "File Toolbar" refers to options

regarding the Patch files. The "Edit Toolbar" refers to options regarding working with the Patch

itself. The "Select Toolbar" includes options to select fixtures. The "Preferences Toolbar"

includes options for various settings. The "View Toolbar" includes options referring to the layout

of the Patch.

The next features will influence the appearance of the second column, the graphical patch itself:

"Zoom In" (or "Ctrl+Plus") or "Zoom Out" (or "Ctrl+Minus") will determine the level of detail.

Zoom in to see single fixtures, their assigned universe, channel, and rotation.

The option "Focus All" (or "Ctrl+0") will display all fixtures (and their DVI Maps) you have patched

in their full size to fit the width of the column. In contrast, "Focus Selection" (or "Ctrl+F") will

zoom in to the highest level containing the selected fixtures (and their DVI Maps) in order to have

a detailed view of it.

"DVI Map Mode" is only relevant when working with DVI fixtures. Please read the chapter DVI

Patch for more information.

If you wish to reset the layout of the Patch dialog to its original settings, use the option "Reset

Layout".
