Showing and Hiding Annotation Column Tick Marks
T-ANIMPA-005-007
When working with the annotation columns, it is useful to display tick marks on odd-numbered frames.
To display the tick marks, you must run a short script.
How to display tick marks
- From the top menu, select Windows > Script Editor.
- From the Script Editor menu, select File > New Script.
- Type in a name for your script and click OK.
- In the File list, select the script you created.
- On the right side of the view, type the following script:
function display_tick_marks()
{
preferences.setBool("XSHEET_ANNOTATION_FRAME_MARKER", true);
MessageLog.trace( preferences.getBool("XSHEET_ANNOTATION_FRAME_MARKER", false));
}
- Click Verify.
The script is verified.
- From the Script Editor menu, select Play/Debug > Run.
A dialog box opens with your script selected in the Files column.
- In the Functions column, select display_tick_marks and click OK.
Tick marks appear on odd frames in the Annotation column. If you do not see tick marks, close and restart Harmony.
