Application Menu

Application Menu#

System Optimiser’s application menu provides project management, editing, view and help commands.

File

  • ‘New project’ (Cmd/Ctrl+N), ‘Save project’ (Cmd/Ctrl+S), ‘Save project as’ (Shift+Cmd/Ctrl+S) and ‘Load project’ (Cmd/Ctrl+O) manage Project Files.

  • ‘Open Recent’ lists recently opened projects, most recent first, with a ‘Clear Recent’ item at the bottom.

  • ‘Venue Database’ opens the Venue Database, to download a venue shared by other users or submit your own.

  • If the current project has unsaved changes, starting a new project, loading another one (including from Open Recent) or exiting will first ask for confirmation.

  • ‘About’ also lives here on every platform. On Windows, ‘Settings…’ (Cmd/Ctrl+,) is here too; on macOS it is in the ‘System Optimiser’ application menu.

Edit

Undo, Redo, Cut, Copy, Paste and Select All, with their standard shortcuts. These commands operate on text fields only - there is no project-level undo/redo in System Optimiser.

View

‘Reset Zoom’ (Cmd/Ctrl+0), ‘Zoom In’ and ‘Zoom Out’ adjust the GUI scale (see also the View Controls), and ‘Toggle Fullscreen’ (F11 on Windows, Ctrl+Cmd+F on macOS).

Window

Standard window controls (Minimize, and Close on Windows).

Export

All of System Optimiser’s exports in one place:

  • ‘Export Rigging PDF’ - a rigging report of the project.

  • ‘Export DAE’, ‘Export DXF’ and ‘Export OBJ’ - the visible loudspeaker and rigging geometry as a 3D model file.

  • ‘Export to CODA SPACE HUB’ - a file for use with CODA SPACE HUB or FLUX:: IRCAM Spat Revolution Immersive Engine.

The same exports are also available from the Quick Command Line. Each one opens a native OS window to choose where to save the file.

Help

‘Manual’ opens this user manual in your system’s default web browser. The manual is embedded in System Optimiser, so no internet connection is required.
