Customising InfoWorks ICM

Introduction

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

Changing the Toolbars

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.

  • option to choose the object deletion type
  • option to be asked "Are you sure?" before exiting InfoWorks ICM

  • selection colour to highlight all selected objects in a network
  • selection colour to highlight the objects for which properties are bring viewed
