<h1 id="preferences">Preferences</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>The settings that follow the application rather than the project are kept on two sides: the service,
|
|
where one value serves every browser signed in to it, and the browser, for the device it is sitting
|
|
at. The <strong>Preference</strong> menu carries four of them — the language, the physics switch and the two
|
|
controller checkboxes — and the rest are reached from the panel each one belongs to. Which side
|
|
keeps a setting is the thing worth knowing about it, because that is
|
|
what decides who else sees the change.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="where-it-is">Where it is</h2>
|
|
<p>The <strong>Preference</strong> dropdown on the menu bar, after <strong>Project</strong> and <strong>Page</strong>. It carries no OK and no
|
|
Cancel: every control commits the moment it is pressed. Picking a language closes the language
|
|
submenu and leaves the dropdown itself open, exactly as the checkboxes do; nothing in the dropdown
|
|
commits on a close. A setting the service refuses is rolled back in the menu, so the dropdown never
|
|
shows a value that did not take — the refusal arrives separately, as a message naming what failed.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="what-the-dropdown-carries">What the dropdown carries</h2>
|
|
<p><strong>Language</strong> opens a submenu of the codes the service offers, each row carrying a language's own name
|
|
over the code that names it — <em>English</em> over <code>en</code>, and the two Chinese scripts over <code>zh-Hans</code> and
|
|
<code>zh-Hant</code>. The caption on the parent row is the language in force. Picking one re-resolves the
|
|
interface immediately and without navigating, which is why the confirmation message already reads in
|
|
the language just chosen. The service keeps this one.</p>
|
|
<p><strong>Show Physics Options</strong> reveals the physics-only parts of two editors, named under <em>Making a physics
|
|
change take</em> below, and switches the cutter drawn on the Tool House canvas and on the
|
|
Execution page's <strong>CWE</strong> canvas from a plain bounding shape to its detailed flute geometry. The
|
|
service reports whether the physics feature is licensed alongside the setting itself, and without
|
|
that licence the checkbox is drawn disabled and clear, with nothing in the menu saying more about
|
|
why. Where the licence is present the setting starts on: a service that has never had a preference
|
|
saved reports it as on. The service keeps this one too.</p>
|
|
<p><strong>CSV Controller</strong> and <strong>CL Controller</strong> each add a node of their own to the General Setup tree once
|
|
a project is open — with no project open neither node is built, whatever the boxes say. Both are
|
|
kept by the browser, are clear by default, and are never sent to the service. The caption under each
|
|
box says whether the open project actually plays that kind — <em>This project plays CSV</em>, or <em>Not used
|
|
by this project</em> — and is blank when no project is open and when the service cannot say; it is read
|
|
when the menu opens, so it answers for whatever project is open at that moment.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="what-is-kept-where">What is kept where</h2>
|
|
<p><strong>One service holds one set of values.</strong> There is nothing per account: two people signed in under
|
|
different names read and write the same language, the same physics setting, the same everything else
|
|
on this side. A change one browser makes is what the next browser to ask will be told. What the
|
|
service keeps this way is the language, the physics setting, the properties the Execution page lists
|
|
for a selected step, which of that page's charts, its <strong>Session Messages</strong> panel and its <strong>Step
|
|
Properties</strong> panel are switched on, the General Setup canvas's display options including the work
|
|
coordinate its marker draws, and the graphic cache budget.</p>
|
|
<p><strong>The browser keeps the arrangement of the screen in front of it.</strong> That is the two tree pages'
|
|
layout — which columns are shown, how wide the docks are and how the right-hand dock is divided
|
|
between its two columns, how tall the editor row under each tree is, which tree nodes are left
|
|
unfolded, which node each tree page reopens on, the heights dragged between stacked panels, the two
|
|
shared chart legend widths and the shared strip-chart x-axis mode — together with the two controller
|
|
checkboxes above, and the File Explorer's editor pane, its split, its auto-save and its sort order. Three of the Execution page's panels sit
|
|
on this side rather than with that page's others: the <strong>3D Rendering Canvas</strong>, <strong>CWE</strong> and
|
|
<strong>Sentence Syntax</strong>. The browser also holds a copy of the language, used only to paint the first
|
|
frame before the service can be asked; the service's value wins every disagreement, so a language
|
|
changed from another browser shows up here immediately after that first frame.</p>
|
|
<p><strong>The graphic cache budget is the exception on the service side.</strong> A new budget takes effect at once
|
|
and applies to every browser on that service, exactly like the rest — but the write stops there. It
|
|
reaches the service's preference file only when some later preference save writes that file out, so a
|
|
service stopped before any such save comes back on the budget it had before.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="making-a-physics-change-take">Making a physics change take</h2>
|
|
<p><strong>Show Physics Options</strong> is read while a tree or a tab row is being built, not while one is on screen,
|
|
so the four routes below are what the tree and the tab row need; the Execution page's <strong>CWE</strong> canvas
|
|
re-reads it the next time the selected step changes, while the Tool House canvas fixes the cutter's
|
|
shape when its rendering connection is made and holds it until that connection is made again.
|
|
Ticking it therefore changes nothing already built: the tree does not grow the nodes it gates, and
|
|
the Tool House cutter's section-tab row does not grow the tab, until something builds them again.
|
|
Folding a branch shut and opening it again is not a rebuild.</p>
|
|
<p>Four things do rebuild one:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Reload the browser. That rebuilds the whole application, every tree included.</li>
|
|
<li>The project under the session changes — <strong>New</strong>, a <strong>Load</strong> that picks a different project,
|
|
<strong>Close Project</strong>, or a <strong>Save As</strong> to a location other than the one already open. Every screen the session has built is discarded and
|
|
built again, and <strong>ReLoad</strong> does the same on the path already open.</li>
|
|
<li>On Tool House, select a different tool in the left column and come back. The tab row is built for
|
|
whichever tool is being shown, so moving between two tools rebuilds it twice.</li>
|
|
<li>Edit the structure of a branch and that branch alone is rebuilt — adding, removing or re-kinding a
|
|
mission command, or installing a different tool house — so a branch being worked on picks the
|
|
setting up without being asked.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>What appears once one of those has happened: in the Execution tree's Mission branch, the <strong>Shot Files
|
|
Output</strong> and <strong>Optimization Output</strong> blocks under a <strong>Post-Execution</strong> command; and in Tool House, the
|
|
cutter's <strong>Material</strong> section tab.</p>
|
|
<p>Tool House at <code>/tool-house/1/cutter/material</code>, with the setting on. The tab row above the editor —
|
|
<strong>General</strong>, <strong>Cutter</strong>, <strong>Holder</strong>, <strong>Clamping</strong>, <strong>Int. Holder</strong> — belongs to the tool; the section
|
|
tabs below the Cutter fields belong to the cutter, and <strong>Material</strong> leads that row only while the
|
|
physics setting is on. With it off the row starts at <strong>Flute Profile</strong> and the address is left alone,
|
|
so a link naming the Material tab opens a complete, plausible-looking panel that is not the one it
|
|
named.</p>
|
|
<p><img src="preferences-img/physics-material-tab.en.png" alt="The Tool House Cutter tab: a Cutter Type selector reading Milling Cutter above Shank Mass, Hone Radius and Relief Angle, then a row of section tabs reading Material, Flute Profile, Flute Contours, Upper Beam and Optimization with Material selected, showing a Flute Material picker with the chosen material's description under it and a Coating Layers group reading no coating layers, and the cutter drawn on the canvas at the right"></p>
|
|
<h2 id="settings-that-live-elsewhere">Settings that live elsewhere</h2>
|
|
<p><strong>Show Log</strong> is a button on the menu bar, not an entry of this dropdown.</p>
|
|
<p><strong>Step Present</strong> — which properties the Execution page lists for the selected step — opens from the
|
|
title bar of that page's <strong>Step Properties</strong> panel, in the Step Info column; the small button there is
|
|
titled <em>Step Present — choose which properties are displayed</em>. Its <strong>Clear</strong> and its <strong>Reset</strong> each ask
|
|
for confirmation before they act, and its lists of keys are fetched again every time it opens and again
|
|
whenever the language changes.</p>
|
|
<p><strong>Graphic Cache</strong> is reached through a panel rather than through the menu bar. On the Execution page,
|
|
with the canvas-and-messages column shown and the <strong>3D Rendering Canvas</strong> panel expanded, that panel's
|
|
title bar carries a toolbar; its <strong>Meshed Geom</strong> dropdown holds <strong>Graphic Cache</strong>, which opens the
|
|
<strong>Graphic Cache (MB)</strong> panel — a <em>Lower</em> and an <em>Upper</em> field bounding a <em>Current</em> field and its
|
|
slider. The toolbar belongs to the canvas and is only lent to the title bar, so collapsing the panel
|
|
takes the whole toolbar away with it, Graphic Cache included.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="taking-settings-to-another-machine">Taking settings to another machine</h2>
|
|
<p>Nothing carries a preference from one installation to another. A second service starts on the built-in
|
|
defaults — English, and the physics options on wherever the licence allows them — and has no
|
|
preference file at all until something is saved on it, so an installation that has never had a
|
|
preference changed has nothing to carry in the first place.</p>
|
|
<p>What the browser keeps travels less far still. It belongs to one browser profile on one device, so the
|
|
same person at a second machine, or in a private window on the same one, finds the tree pages laid out
|
|
as they come and both controller checkboxes clear.</p>
