Customising InfoWorks ICM

You can customise the InfoWorks ICM display.

• The toolbars can be altered to better suit the way you work
• Colours used on graphs can be set to make graphs and reports more readable
• The GIS control can be changed so that you can display additional layers on the GeoPlan window in your chosen format
• Display units can be changed to suit local needs

You can alter the InfoWorks ICM toolbars by:

• removing buttons you do not use
• changing button position or moving buttons between toolbars to make them more convenient
• changing the button size
• docking the toolbars on another edge of the window, or leaving them floating to give a bigger work area

For further information, see Customising the Toolbars.

The Options dialog allows you to change a number of features of the InfoWorks ICM user interface and the way InfoWorks ICM displays data, including:

• option to re-open the windows that were open when the application was last closed
• option to open GIS layers previously displayed on the GeoPlan being opened
• option to choose the object deletion type
• option to be asked "Are you sure?" before exiting InfoWorks ICM
• units used for displayed data
• the GIS component used to display the network in the GeoPlan Window

The Visual tab controls visual effects on the GeoPlan Window such as:

• selection colour to highlight all selected objects in a network
• selection colour to highlight the objects for which properties are bring viewed
• selection colour used to highlight objects found using the GeoPlan Find dialog
• hill shading settings emphasising the contours of a ground model displayed on the GeoPlan Window
• theme visibility settings for the GeoPlan, Thematic Key Window and printouts
