General

The General options allow you to configure various TimeZero settings:

  • Animation Replay Speed: Sets the speed of animation when the "Play" button is pressed on the Virtual Time Control (Time Bar) of the Planning  WorkSpace. If you find that the weather animation moves too quickly, lower this setting.

  • NavData Transparency: This option manipulates the intensity of NavData transparency (ranges from 0-90)

  • NavData Multi Data Dwell Time: When multiple numeric data are assigned to the same NavData panel, the "Multi Data Dwell Time" adjusts the time (from 2 to 10 seconds) that each piece of data will be displayed before switching to the next one. To add multiple data to the same NavData panel, right click on a numerical NavData (NavData displaying Number), select "Add" and click on the Data you want to add.

  • Hide Undocked NavData: Check this option to hide undocked NavData when the NavData tab is closed

  • Lock Undocked NavData: Check this option if you want to "freeze" the NavData that you have dragged outside of the NavData Bar. This prevent undocked NavData to be accidentally moved when dragging the chart. Make sure to undock and set up the NavData on the screen before enabling this option.

  • NavData Size: Determines the size of the NavData bar on the right side of the screen (ranges from 50-150).

  • Toolbar Size: Determines the size of the Toolbar on the left side of the screen (ranges from 25-100).

  • Ribbons Size: Determines the size of the Ribbons at the top of the screen.

  • Auto Hide Interface: This option automatically hides some interface components when the cursor stops moving after a designated period of time ("Auto Hide Delay"). This allows to maximize the chart display.

  • Display Tooltip Over Object: Determines how quickly the Tooltip appears when hovering over an object. If you don't like the Tooltips to appear when the mouse is over an object, set this option to OFF. You can always display the Tooltip by left clicking on any objects.

  • Center on Screen when Zooming with Scroll Wheel: Check this option if you want the plotter to zoom in on the center of the screen when using the mouse wheel (instead of zooming on the cursor location).

  • Enable Auto Hand Tool Selection: Leave this option checked if you want TimeZero to automatically select the panning tool (Hand Tool) after creating a route or object. Un-check this option if you want to create multiple objects in a row.

  • Inertial Scrolling: Allows TimeZero to continue to move the chart even after releasing the mouse. This option is specifically useful with Touch Screen.

  • Customize Function Keys: The user can create shortcut keys to control various system settings. Please refer to Shortcuts for more information.

  • Dynamic Result in Search Dialog: select this option to update Smart Search results when scrolling the char

  • Screenshot Recording Location: Set the default screenshot recording location

  • Power Consumption Optimization: This option adjusts software power consumption in order to aid either performance or battery conservation. If you want TimeZero to take full advantage of the video card computing power and achieve the fastest refresh time (regardless of power optimization), set this parameter to "performance".
