Use the following saving functionality to save and restore the current display, save work and see the changes made by other users.
Saving and Restoring the Current Display Status
You can save and restore the display set-up (including the full forms and menus set) by using the RECREATE and INSTALL commands.
For example:
|
RECREATE /DS1 |
Saves the display status in file /DS1. |
|
RECREATE /DS1 OVER |
Saves the display status in file /DS1. Any existing file /DS1 is overwritten |
|
RECRE DISPLAY /DS2 |
Saves modal settings. Read back in using $M. |
|
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 will be INSTALLed to their original size.
Saving Work
The command:
SAVEWORK
saves the current Isodraft additions or modifications without leaving Isodraft. It is good practice to use this command regularly during an Isodraft session.
Seeing Changes Made by Other Users
The command:
GETWORK
updates the Isodraft database with the changes made by other users, if the database has been opened in multi-write mode.
