  • 2.133. Multi-Plot Options Dialog
Multi-Plot Options dialog
Multi-Plot Options is only available if the Multi-Plot window is active. A double click away from any sub-view (for example in the grey area outside the page boundary) will also pop up this dialog box.
This function provides global control over  all the Sub-Views contained in the Multi-Plot Window. To edit and format contents within individual Sub-Views see View | Multi-Plot | Sub-View Options.
Font - Rectangles
Sets the default font for all the text in the rectangle sub-views. Those rectangles for which you specified a different font or font size (overriding default) will not be changed by this option.
Get Default Font
Resets the font (controlled by above Font - Rectangles option) to the application default value (defined in the Module - Setup dialog box, General Tab).
Draw all graphics
When setting up Multi-Plot sheet, redrawing the contents of each Sub-View (Plan, Profile, Data etc.) can be time consuming. To disable redrawing of graphics within all sub-views, click on the Draw all graphics box until it is clear. When you have a combination of enabled and disabled draws for sub-views, (you can set sub-view draws individually using function View | Multi-Plot | Sub-View Options | Draw to Screen), the Draw all Graphics box will be grey.
Scroll bars
This option allows you to add scroll bars to the Multi-Plot window (note that shift arrow keys will scroll even if there are no scroll bars present and Pan functionality (middle mouse or toolbar) is always available).
 
Grid Options
Show grid
When this option is selected, dots are displayed on grid points (see Spacing and Snap to Grid).
Snap to grid
When this option is selected, the borders of sub-views coincide with grid lines (after size or move). This option helps  to ensure that sub-views line up with each other.
Show rulers
This option will display rulers along the top and left of the Multi-Plot sheet. This can be useful for setting up output for pre-printed sheets.
Spacing
This option allows you to control the spacing of the grid in either inches or millimeters.
Pagination Button
This option activates the Multi-Plot Pagination Options dialog.
