UI settings

image

some settings need explenations others don'l (like grid)

In OpenHasp all objects that are drawn on page0 are also drawn on all other pages. The page0 checkbox determines if the objects drawn on page0 are shown on the other pages.

When the objectId's checkbox is checked you see the objectid's in the objects on your canvas.

image

The object details checkbox lets you have a popup when clicking (selecting) an object in your design. The popup contains the objectdetails. When you drag or change properties on the object the changed property is drawn in yellow in the object details popup.

When Docicons are checked you see the image in the popup when you hover over your components innventory;

Plates

It is not mandatory to setup you plates befor starting with your design. But it might be handy.

image

Realy simple:

and then edit your plate

The edit plate popup window is shown

When you done your settings and the plates ip, username and password are correct and you click edit again the dsigner connects to your plate and fetches its details. The tabs are currently under construction but you get an idea what this is for. The goal is to configure the plate from here. The ftp user is already working this is used to manages files using the ftp protocol on your plate. From the ftp window you can transfer your images that are used in your design to the plate.
