Section Properties Dialog
This dialog lets you customise the content and layout of the section displayed in the Long Section Window.
The dialog is displayed when Properties is selected from the Section menu or from the context menu displayed by right clicking on the Long Section Window. The options available in this dialog depend on the section being opened.
The dialog contains two tabs:
- Content - allows scaling of y axis, labelling and attributes to be displayed in the Section Window to be customised
- Layout - allows layout attributes including colours and fonts to be customised
The Content tab allows scaling of y-axis, labelling and attributes to be displayed in the Section Window to be customised.
