Editor Preferences

Use this page to set up global preferences for the different editors used within the Enactor Development Environment. The options are:

Default Zoom Level - selected from a drop down list, ie. 100%, 75%, 50%, 25% or Width. When opening a process diagram, this is the default display level. However, the editor remembers the last used zoom for each process, so if the User re-opens a previously opened process, it should display at the the zoom level it was closed with.
Default Grid Size X - numeric value, default value when grid lines are selected on the process diagram.
Default Grid Size Y - numeric value, default value when grid lines are selected on the process diagram.
Default Grid Origin X - numeric value, the position of the 'origin' of the grid, i.e. the x offset from the top-left corner of the editor where the grid should originate.
Default Grid Origin Y - numeric value, the position of the 'origin' of the grid, i.e. the y offset from the top-left corner of the editor where the grid should originate.
