| + | ===== Sliders ===== | ||
| + | In the mask editor window, click on the “sliders” icon [[File:MetisSmartModelingFromatGauge.PNG|link=]] in the toolbar. | ||
| + | This adds a “slider” object on the design board. | ||
| + | This object can be resized by clicking and holding on the sides or corners. | ||
| + | It can be moved anywhere on the design board. | ||
| + | The object can also be edited using the properties section at the lower left-hand side. | ||
| + | To reposition the drop down list, use the X1 and Y1 fields. | ||
| + | For example, set X1 to 130 and Y1 to 80. | ||
| + | Now move to the “Content” tab. | ||
| + | Click on the edit icon for the “Option 1” field found on the right. | ||
| + | This opens a new window where the “Option 1” entry can be renamed for all the available languages. | ||
| + | For example, rename it to “2 GB.” | ||
| + | Once the entry has been appropriately renamed, confirm. | ||
| + | Repeat the previous steps for the “Option 2” entry. Rename it “4 GB.” | ||
| + | To add another entry, simply click on the “Add” button. | ||
| + | Repeat the previous steps to rename the “Option 3” entry to “8 GB.” | ||
| + | The “Up” and “Down” arrows found on the “Content” tab allow the user to sort the entries as desired. | ||
| + | Next, a value needs to be set according to each of the entries. For example, the three entries values are set to 2, 4, and 8 respectively. | ||
| + | Now click on the “Link” tab. A link is made to an entry in order for Metis to use the inputted field value in a model. | ||
| + | Click on the “Add” button. This opens a new window where the user can link the graphic to a position or a variable. | ||
| + | Search for a position. | ||
| + | For example, enter “DDR” in the “Description” field and launch the search. | ||
| + | Select a position from the matching results. | ||
| + | For example, “DDR2 1GB.” | ||
| + | The position is now linked with the graphic. | ||
| + | Note: Only one link can be defined per graphic. | ||
| + | The final step is to activate the graphic using the “Activation” tab. | ||
