Take a few minutes and read the next few pages to learn about the Control Studio application before you open Control Studio and create a module. The Control Studio window has different sections called views, that are used to define the characteristics of a module. Each view can be closed or resized individually so that you can optimize the size of the view you are working in.
You can set the size of the overall window by dragging the sides or corners. Then, on the View tab, in the Windows group, click Arrange to automatically reshape the views to a predefined arrangement.
The figure above shows the default arrangement of the Control Studio views. The views are:
The palette shows the items that can be added to the diagram using the drag-and-drop technique. Several palettes are available. You can change to a different palette by clicking on the palette name.
Note If the palette is not showing, point to the edge of the Diagram window, hold down the mouse button and drag the side of the window to resize it to show the palette column.
The palette can be moved from one side of the Diagram View to the other. To do this, point anywhere on the palette, click the right mouse button, and select Switch Sides from the menu.
The items in the palette may be displayed with either large or small icons. To change the selection, point anywhere on the palette, click the right mouse button, and select the desired icon size.
Note If another user has changed the Diagram Preferences (on the Diagram tab in the Layout group), your pictures may look different than the ones in this book. The default settings are shown below:
