Subject: Unhappy Newbie Struggling With Escalade DesignBook Learning Curve
Hi John,
I've just started using Escalade DesignBook on Solaris 2.6. While testing
several cases, I've got serveral questions that couldn't overcome as far as
reading PDF documents. The questions are:
1. The Help doesn't work. The format of help file seems to be Windows
help format(.hlp), so can't I use Help on Solaris? Why?
2. When I check a block with Ctrl-F9 in the block editor, a small window
appears and reports only Error/Warning counts. Is there any way to
get further information?
3. I set the header information from the menu (Options)- (code generation)
- (copyright) - (Use Project Copyright). But the properties such as
$name, $date aren't expanded.
4. When I rotate a block with wire and connector 270 degree, the port
description and connector description faces the opposite side. I can
correct it by rotating only connectors, but it's troublesome. How
can I move the port/connector/wire description?
5. How to set the Printer and printing size? Although I can set the
working page size in the menu (Option)-(Edit Preference)-(Page),
printing page size seems fixed to A4 Portrait.
The version of DesignBook is 3.8a/1.1a and using Solaris 2.6. I appreciate
any help. Thanks. Please keep me anonymous.
