The STAAD.Pro user interface has been updated and
refined.
Ribbon
Controls
The menus and toolbars have been replaced with a series of
tabbed toolbars along the top of the application window. These are context
sensitive to the current
"workflow" as well as to the current model selection.
There are fewer tools displayed at one time, so they can be larger and thus
easier to identify. However, the tools you need are always available by
selecting the tab (similar to menus in a tradition Windows program).
The icons for the tools are updated to reflect a
consistent theme, further making the correct tool easy to identify.
Workflows
Panel
The system of application modes has been replaced with the
Workflows panel.
Tip: Once you
become familiar with the workflows, you can hide the panel to display a larger
viewing area. Simply click the Workflow tab again to select a different
workflow.
Page Control
Bar
The pages within each workflow have been streamlined from
those in the previous modes. A single row of pages is displayed for the current
workflow, just above the view window. Select the appropriate page for your
current task to display the corresponding dialogs and tables.
Tip: If you
close some of the dialogs for a page and need to display them again, simply
click the
Restore View tool (
) on the right-hand side of the
page control bar.
