Active coordinate list

If more than one coordinate list is open, one of them must be chosen as active. The name of this active file is displayed on the status bar. After launching the program, the coordinate list that is opened first is set as active.

Which coordinate list is active has effect on many other program functions (e.g. on searching and saving the points).

In some cases, it is convenient not to have any of the opened coordinate lists selected as active (e.g. testing calculations, where you do not want to save the results).

Choosing the active coordinate list

The active coordinate list can be chosen in three ways:

  • Using the command File->Active coordinatess list you will call a dialog window with a list of all the opened files, wherefrom you can choose the active list. If you do not want any active list, select the item [None].

  • Double click with the mouse on the status bar. A dialog window will display as when calling using the menu.

  • Mouse-drag any of the items to the status bar, in the same way as you drag data in the calculation windows.
