If the intention is to leave Draw for a short period only the RECREATE/INSTALL facility allows the display setup (including the full forms and menus set) to be saved, for restoration later.
Example
|
RECREATE /DS1 |
|
|
|
saves the display status in file /DS1. |
|
RECREATE /DS1 OVER |
|
|
saves the display status in file /DS1, an existing file /DS1 is overwritten. |
|
|
RECRE DISPLAY /DS2 |
|
|
saves modal settings, for example, changes from default Style/Color configuration, units or text quality. Read back in using $M/name. |
|
|
INSTALL SETUP /DS1 |
|
|
restores the display definition stored in file /DS1. (Refers to file saved by RECREATE, not RECREATE DISPLAY.) |
|
Note:
Forms resized or moved using the cursor are INSTALLed to their original size.
