The V8i Task Theme is now provided in
OpenTunnel Designer CONNECT to provide a familiar user interface for
users who have recently migrated from
OpenTunnel Designer V8i. As a new user it may take
you some time to get acquainted with the new Ribbon Interface in
OpenTunnel Designer CONNECT. While you explore the benefits of using
the ribbon, you can use the familiar V8i Task Theme to access your frequently
used tools and finish-up your project.
You can now easily turn on the
V8i Task Theme from the
Select V8i Mode drop-down in the Quick Access
toolbar. From the drop-down menu you can choose the Ribbon, Dialog, Toolbox or
Combobox style to display the V8i tools.
You can also access the V8i Task theme by selecting the
Task Navigation workflow and picking the desired
task form the
Select Task drop-down in the Quick Access toolbar.
