What is "full layout" // New Users

The 7.5 pdf manual refers to something called the full layout in chapter 2 and appendix A, does anyone know what this is?
In chapter 2, section 2.14.5, the first step says "Switch to the full layout..." and appendix A says things like "if you are in full layout...".
I did search both the forum and all the pdfs. Searching makes it kind of a pain having the manual in multiple pdfs.
thanks,
Sonia |

Hmm... this sounds like legacy text from the 7.11 manual...

Yup. Hopefully the more of it that gets found, the more that can be fixed before the updated manual is released. :)

"Full" used to be (7.0 - 7.11) one of the preset layouts to choose from on the tabs at the top - basically it was full screen for the view.
In an effort to clean up the interface (and it had its share of clutter) Caligari decided to reduce the number of layout presets from nine, many of which a lot of users never really used, to a much cleaner four.
You can delete or add tabs. Open the "Library Browser" and select "Layout" library if it is not already open in your stack. Whatever your current screen layout is, when you right-click and select "Insert" it will put it with the rest of your layouts. Select "Rename" from the context menu to give it a name. Finally, close trueSpace and reopen it to find that your tabs are now updated to reflect those listed within the layouts listed in the layout panel in the stack.
Now whether the need to shut down before updating the list is something they didn't have time to do or not, I don't know. I'd prefer the tab instantly show up or be deleted, but "callback" type functionality between objects, buttons, and interface elements seems to be in early stages if at all within trueSpace. To their credit, I beleive all of the toolbar buttons grey themselves out in certain situations when they don't apply - a great example of callback-style functionality: I think all items should update themselves instantly where applicable. ;) |

except 'camera rotate' in workspace ortho views which should be greyed out and inaccessable..it should have worked like that back in ts7.0 and still has not been fixed :confused: |

Nice thanks JPS! I've been wondering about that
