Use High-Capacity Grid in Viewers?

(ID# 8125) Use this System option in Options Configuration to specify whether or not you want to use the High-Capacity grid in the various Eagle for Windows viewers.

This option does not apply to Eagle N Series, where all viewers and grids always have the "high capacity" behavior.

To start using the High-Capacity Grid, set this option to A or D.

The High-Capacity Grid can only be used on PCs running Windows 2000, Windows XP, or above. The High-Capacity grid offers:

• Support for 100,000 rows (84,000 more rows than the Standard grid)

• The ability to lock columns

• The ability to sort like a spreadsheet; if you sort from ascending to descending, blank cells always sort to the bottom

• Data is truncated to fit the columns and doesn’t extend to the right into blank cells

• Date formats are converted to mm/dd/yy or mm/dd/yyyy

• Time formats are converted to hh:mm am/pm

• Light blue headers are used in place of grey headers, and the column headers may wrap differently

• Support for a mouse wheel when the grid is fully loadedYou can tell the grid is fully loaded when the vertical scroll bar has the little square slider rather than the page up or page down icons.

The High-Capacity grid has some limitations. Click here for details.

If you set this option to A –"Always use High-Capacity grid,” the High-Capacity grid will be used in all viewers. If you set this option set to D –"Default to Standard but allow the user to select High-Capacity,” the Standard grid will be used by default in all viewers, but you will have the option to switch to the High-Capacity grid. Switching to High-Capacity can be done in two ways: 1) After launching the viewer, right-click in any column and select Control Panel -> Grid -> High-Capacity, or 2) If you save a view (File -> Save View) while using the High-Capacity grid and this view is used to load the grid at a later time, it will automatically switch to the High-Capacity mode. If you save the default view while in High-Capacity mode, the viewer will automatically launch in High-Capacity mode.

If you set this option to F–"Force using the Standard grid,” the High-Capacity grid is disabled and you cannot select it (the Standard grid will be used in all viewers).
