About user keys

User keys save desired changes of layers. These changes can then be applied to other layers where a similar effect or change is needed without affecting other settings of the layer.

Prerequisites

The layer must be modified with the desired changes. For more information, see the relevant topics in “Scene creation”.

How to create

1. Select the desired layer in the scene.

2. Decide which settings must be included.

   • If all options must be included, enable the check box in front of Enable All Type.
   • For each option that must be included, check the check box in front of the settings name.
   • For each option that must be excluded, uncheck the check box in front of the settings name.
   

   Tip: If the options are hidden, then click the arrow ().

3. Decide how the user key must be created in Creation Mode. (optional)

   • Check the check box in front of Rename if the created user key will be named immediately.
   • Check the check box in front of Lock if the user key must be locked for editing.

   

4. Must an existing user key be overwritten?

   • If yes and the user key is unlocked (), select the user key and click Overwrite User Key.
   • If no, click Save to new User Key.

   

   

5. Was the option Rename selected?

   • If yes, enter a name for the user key.
   • If no and the user key is unlocked (), double click on the name and enter a name.
   

   Tip: Provide clear names that reflect the intended purpose.

   

6. Double click on the number in front of the user key and enter a desired number. (optional)

   

   Note: Numbers must be unique.
   

   Tip: Up to two decimal numbers are allowed.
   

   Tip: The automatic numbering will ignore decimal numbers and add one to the highest whole number in the list.
   

   Tip: The number decides at which position it is located in the list.

   

7. Click the save icon () in the header.
