Options Forms are available for many ZW3D commands. They provide a non-linear method of entering the required and optional inputs. Options Forms are displayed in the ZW3D Data Manager if it is enabled.
You can use the ZW3D Configuration Form to have the forms displayed automatically. The forms complement the command prompt sequence. When the forms are not displayed, this is referred to as "stream lined mode" verses "play mode" when they are displayed. The difference is an extra middle-click at the end of the prompt sequence in "play mode." This ensures that the command is not executed automatically allowing you time to adjust the form if desired. In "stream lined mode" optional inputs are assigned default values and only the required inputs are prompted. Scroll bars are provided when option forms are too long to display fully.
Things to ConsiderHere are some things to consider when using the forms.
Required InputsThis section will list all of the "required" inputs for the command. You will be prompted for each input but you can enter them in any order using the form. Be sure to pay attention to the command prompt and the message area while executing each command.
Optional InputsThis section will list all of the "optional" inputs for the command. Shown below are some of the options that are common to many of the options forms.
Pick this icon to activate the numeric field to the left. You may then enter a numeric value or right-click the mouse in the graphics window to select alternate input options such as dimension values or expressions. When data has not yet been entered, Required Input fields have Red icons and Optional Input fields have Yellow icons. As data is entered, the icons turn Green. Clicking in a numeric input field changes the prompt to correspond to the new field.
NOTE: This icon must be selected to activate the right mouse button pop-up menu for the numeric field.
Other OptionsThe options below are functional and navigational tools that are common to all options forms.
