Stefan Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Hi, Just wondering what the use of the document folder list would be. All ive ever seen it say is Top Level and nothing else. I assume that you can organise the resource browser into categories or something along those lines, but as to how i would do that, i have no clue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Guest Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 If you have alot of symbols in a drawing, some people like to organize them using symbol folders. If you have symbol folders, and folders inside of folders, it can get tricky to remember what level you are on. The drop down box you refer to lays out a tree like structure of the different symbol folders within a file so you can easily navigate to the symbol folder you desire. Quote Link to comment
MullinRJ Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 The "tree like structure" that Katie refers to also includes branches for VectorScript Palettes (which are like sub-folders for scripts) and the scripts they contain, in addition to the branch for Symbols and their sub-folders. Clicking on Symbol sub-folders or VS Palettes, opens them to display their contents. It is then that you will see more than "Top Level" displayed in the document folder list. As you add these items to your file, the document folder list shows the hierarchy of your position within the Resource Browser. Also, if you have multiple files open, the display also reflects your position in the particular file you are browsing through. HTH, Raymond Quote Link to comment
Stefan Posted March 24, 2004 Author Share Posted March 24, 2004 And how would i set up these symbol folders katie refers to? Stefan [ 03-24-2004, 06:52 PM: Message edited by: Stefan ] Quote Link to comment
MullinRJ Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Hi Stefan, Open the Resource Browser (RB) from the main menu bar - Palettes>Resource Browser. At the top of the RB window, the fourth line down, is a button labeled "Resources". Click it and a pop-up menu will appear with "New resource in your_VW_file_name...". It, too, is the fourth selection down. Select it, and a dialog window will open with all the resource types you can create, eight types in all. "Symbol Folder" is the one you want.
