Many of the commands in this menu control whether a window is visible on your screen. The commands act as toggles:

• If a window is visible when the command is chosen, the window will be hidden.
• If a window is hidden when the command is chosen, it will become visible.

The commands remember the location of a window while it is hidden:

• If a window is docked before being hidden, it will remain docked in the same location when it is again made visible. Other docked windows within the main window will expand or shrink accordingly.
• If a window is undocked before being hidden, it will remain undocked in the same location when it is again made visible.

View > Project Explorer

Toggles whether the Project Explorer is visible on screen. Synonym for Project Explorer on the Project toolbar.

While it is not essential, it is conventional to set elevations with respect to Australian Height Datum (AHD). You can enter negative numbers for components that are below sea level, such as the lower lakes of the Murray. The elevation of a component is the zero point for that component. For example, the zero point for a storage is the lowest point in the storage.

Tools > Unit Preferences...

Opens the Units Preferences window (see Unit preferences).

Tools > Options...

Opens the Options dialog (#anchor-79-anchor). The available options include:

• A compression slider. The default is low compression but there is no reason not to set the slider to its maximum value. This results in the most compact project files for almost no penalty in file load or save times.
• Settings that enable you to control the number of decimal places that are used in various Source windows. Use the Editable Decimal Places field to adjust the number of decimal places shown in fields that you can edit. The Visible Decimals field controls the number of decimal places displayed in fields that you can not edit. Neither of these settings has any effect unless the Enable rounding checkbox is turned on. Clicking Restore default values resets both decimal place fields to their default values and clears the Enable rounding checkbox.
• Settings that enable you to limit the number of columns displayed in the Tabular Editor. Use the Maximum Columns to Display field to limit the number of columns. Restricting the number of columns can improve performance. Click Restore default value to re-apply the system default of 1000 columns.

This button prepares the Schematic Editor for saving in JPEG format.

Allow Link Dragged

Enabling this button allows you to disconnect the downstream end of a link from the node to which it is attached, and then re-connect that link to the upstream inlet of another node. You can use this feature to insert new nodes into a schematic without losing the configuration of existing links.

Straight Lines

This button controls the representation of links. Source defaults to drawing links using orthogonal (elbow) lines. Click Straight Lines to change the default representation to straight lines.

The representation of any link can be controlled independently using the contextual menu in the Schematic Editor. Right-click the link and choose one of the options in the Link Type sub-menu.

Each line has one control point which you can adjust to route the line around obstacles. The control point for an orthogonal line can only be moved in the vertical dimension whereas the control point for a straight line has no restrictions on its movement.

Note At present, only the setting of the Straight Lines button is saved with your project. Any changes you make to individual links or control points are lost when you close your project.

Overview Panel

This button controls whether the Overview Panel is shown in the Schematic Editor. The default state of this control is off. You can use the Overview Panel to obtain a thumbnail view of your entire schematic.

Pan

When this button is enabled, clicking and holding on any part of the drawing surface in the Schematic Editor moves the entire drawing surface. This is an alternative to using the scroll bars.

Tool-tips

This button is a popup menu containing three options:

• Tool tips on - when selected, clicking on any node in the Schematic Editor causes a small floating window to appear which contains additional information about that node.
• Tool tips off - when selected, the floating windows do not appear.
• Tool tips locked - when selected, clicking any node in the Schematic Editor causes a small floating window to appear next to every node.

Select Analysis Type

Selects the type of analysis to be performed. Synonym for Run > <type> analysis. The options are:

• Flow Calibration analysis, which derives the "best" set of parameter values so that output from the model matches an observed data set;
• Run w/Warm Up, which seeds the model with the available historical data and prepares for forecasting. See also Incorporating uncertainty into climate variability;
• Single analysis, which simulates the river performance for a single set of conditions (as opposed to an iterative analysis which considers several possible outcomes); or
• Stochastic analysis, which is used when dealing with stochastic climate data. Refer to Calibration Wizard for catchments.
