Customize the Menus and Splash Page

Customize your menus and splash page. You can control which menus are shown, which is useful when the software is used across different departments on your production floor.  

For example, if personnel are using the Unisoft PCB viewer for board inspection, you can simplify things by removing any menus they don’t need in that department. 

You can also add custom splash page text that shows when the software starts. For example:  "UNISOFT VIEWER FOR USE IN THE INSPECTION DEPARTMENT

TIP: If the Unisoft PCB assembly (PCBA) viewer is being used on the production floor, it’s a good idea to remove the SAVE and SAVE AS options from the FILE menu. This prevents someone from accidentally overwriting your “golden” .F2B file.

To remove SAVE and SAVE AS from the FILE menu, add the following lines to the MARKUPX.INI file.  To find out where the MARKUPX.INI file is located go to  https://www.unisoft-cim.com/markupx-ini-and-markup-ini-location-and-backup.html .

Below is a brief explanation of how to customize the menus and splash page. Contact Unisoft for more details on this feature. 

In the MARKUPX.INI file, the section below is a list of controls for menu items that can be added under the [TailoredMenus] section. This includes more detailed controls for turning off specific menu items within a menu. If you want, you can also just disable the entire menu instead of controlling individual items.

The default setting for these menu items is =Y, which means they are automatically turned on even if they are not listed under the [TailoredMenus] section. In other words, you only need to add an entry if you want to turn a menu item off, or if you want to set a custom splash screen message when the software first starts.

TO USE:
Most menus can be modified or removed, with the exception of some items under FILE, VIEW, and SHOW.

To modify the menus, go to the MARKUPX.INI file. To find where it is located, go to:
https://www.unisoft-cim.com/markupx-ini-and-markup-ini-location-and-backup.html

Next, in the MARKUPX.INI file, under the [TailoredMenus] section, insert the menu control you want. Examples are below.
(Note: If the [TailoredMenus] section is not already in your MARKUPX.INI file, you can add it manually at the top of the file.)

 To remove, for example, the Quote/Quality menu, insert the following:

[TailoredMenus]
Quote/Quality=N

After:







To remove, for example, the Parts Cost sub-menu under the Quote/Quality menu, insert the following:

[TailoredMenus]
Quote/Quality|Parts Cost=N

After:





 

Custom Splash Screen


TO USE:
To modify the splash page, go to the MARKUPX.INI file. Then under the [TailoredMenus] section, insert the SplashText you want.
