Title: Context Explorer Settings
Post by: wyconian on 17 Aug 2010 04:12:07 AM
Hey

Anyone know how to change the font size settings in context explorer in FM 8.4?  Really like the being able to print the context explorer diagram but not much use if you can't see the whole name of the query subjects.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Simon

I think the file to modify is bmt.ini under folder ..\c8\configuration, but I don't see a fontsize property in there...

Thanks

I finally figured out that you can drag the qs names box to make it big enough to show the whole name but everytime you make any change to the diagram settings it reverts back to the default.

Very annoying but I guess it's better than replicating the diagram by hand.

Thanks for your help

At the bottom of the 'Diagram Settings' window, check the checkbox which says 'Make these settings the default for all new projects'.

I think by doing this you won't lose the changes...
