User Values Overview
In the Spatial Engineer 11 tutorial on user values, the focus is on entering and customizing user-defined values to populate dropdown menus within the system. Here’s a summary of the key steps outlined in the video:
- Accessing User Values:
- To access and manage user values, navigate to the File pull-down menu, then select “User Values” to open the user values dialogue box.
- Selecting Feature and Options:
- Within the user values dialogue box, choose a specific feature, such as Fiber Optic Cable, to configure the available options like account codes, induct colors, installation methods, and owners.
- Creating a New Value:
- To add a new value (e.g., “Cadel” as the owner), right-click within the user values dialogue box and select “Add New Value.”
- Enter the desired value and choose whether to make it Global, which will display it in relevant dropdown menus throughout the system.
- Saving Changes:
- It’s important to save any changes made to user values before exiting Spatial Engineer. This ensures that the modifications are retained for future sessions.
- Changes to user values are session-specific and may impact all users; however, a system restart is required for the changes to take effect globally.
- Final Steps:
- After modifying user values, users can choose to save their changes within the dialogue box or exit the program, prompting a save confirmation before closing.
- Post-Update Verification:
- To see the updated values reflected in dropdown menus, users need to exit Spatial Engineer, relaunch the program, and revisit the corresponding feature properties to view the changes.
By following these steps in Spatial Engineer 11, users can effectively customize user values to streamline data entry and enhance the usability of dropdown menus within the system.
