Customize the Menus and Splash Page

Customize your menus and splash page. You can customize the menus displayed and this is useful when the software is used in various departments on your production floor. For example for personnel performing PC Board inspection with the included UnisoftPCB assembly / PCBA viewer software you can simplify its use by removing the menus that are not necessary in that department. You can also add custom Splash Page text that will be displayed when the software is first started such as "UNISOFT VIEWER FOR USE IN THE INSPECTION DEPARTMENT".

TIP: A recommendation if the Unisoft PCB assembly / PCBA viewer is used on the production floor is to remove the SAVE and SAVE AS menus that are located on the FILE menu so that production floor personnel will be unable to overwrite your "golden" .F2B file. To remove the SAVE and SAVE AS menu items from the FILE menu insert the following text in the MARKUP.INI file. More details below.

[TailoredMenus]
File|Save=N
File|Save As...=N
