AutoVue Basics
This section introduces you to the basics of working with AutoVue's graphical user interface.
Menu Bar
The Menu bar is the main access to all the menu commands. The selection of commands changes according to the tasks being accomplished by AutoVue. In addition, the Menu bar can be configured to include and exclude items via DDE scripting capabilities. For more information, see the AutoVue API Manual.
Toolbars
Toolbars are fully adaptable to individual work preferences and can be easily customized, moved or removed. The Toolbar icons offer easy access to the options presented in the drop-down menus found in the Menu bar.
Status Bar
In both View mode and Markup mode, there is a Status bar located at the bottom of the main window. The fields displayed from left to right on the Status bar are: marker, current active filename, file type, zoom factor, current page and total number of pages, current active file size, file creation date and cursor's coordinate position.
In addition to the fields, there are two markers that may be present on the Status bar.
The red light bulb
indicates that the current active file has associated Markups. While in View mode, click the red light bulb to view the Markup Files dialog, then select a Markup file or group of Markup files to open. By opening a Markup file, Markup mode is automatically launched.
A red circle with an "i"
indicates that some main resources required to properly read the current active file are not available. To identify the missing resources, click the red circle to display the File Properties dialog.
Quick Menus
One of the quickest ways to access options is through Quick Menus
or context-sensitive shortcut menus. These are the menus you see when you right-click in the workspace. The Quick Menu options available depend on the mode you are in and what is selected prior to right-clicking.
