Document Properties

CM4D documents have properties that are default, apply across the parts of the documents and can be modified and saved to each document.

There are five tabs of properties:

  1. Defaults - Change the default properties of a CM4D document, including options for units, decimal places, labels, etc.
  2. Setup - Set document sift rules, manage View Snapshots or apply document scripts.
  3. Styles - Create, edit, and manage default (or base) styles in CM4D, including font and other appearance settings.
  4. Scores - Create and manage scores.
  5. Feature Marker Colors - Set the default feature marker color, or restore the default colors from the Cm4d.ini file.

Description

OK

Even if no changes are made, clicking OK (or the red X in the upper right corner of the dialog) will still refresh the values.

Close

Replaces the OK button after changes are made, saves the values and closes the Document Properties dialog.

Cancel

Allows you to view the Document Properties and close the dialog instantly without writing out the values again. After opening and making changes in secondary dialogs, you can keep from committing those settings by clicking Cancel in those dialogs.
