These settings are available on the Circuits Grid [Visualization Settings] tab.

In order to preview Circuits you will first need to Add Circuits

These settings determine the display of the Circuits Visualization tool.

There are two variants:

1.Functional Block Diagram.

Displays a CAD representation of the circuit as a functional block diagram. The master source and destination are show with a series of equipment panels, jumpers, and backbones.

2.Map View.

This mode is only viable if you have associated GPS coordinate data in your Locations table. For more information see this topic. In Map view the backbones of the selected circuit(s) are shown on the Map tool. The backbones honor the Backbones Color, and Line Width settings. The Map may be printed or exported through the print preview dialog.
