| <h3>Saving |
| perspectives</h3> |
| <P CLASS="Para">In this tutorial we have seen how to add new views to our |
| perspective, rearrange the views and convert views into fast views. The |
| Workbench also allows you to save this layout for future use.</P> |
| <ol> |
| <li> |
| <p CLASS="Para">In the shortcut bar click on the Resource |
| perspective. The Resource perspective is now active.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p CLASS="Para">Drag the Outline view and stack it with the Navigator view.</li> |
| <li> |
| <p CLASS="Para">Choose <b>Window |
| > Save Perspective As...</b></p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p CLASS="Para">The Save Perspective As dialog |
| allows you to redefine and existing perspective or create a new perspective. |
| <p CLASS="Para">Click <b>OK</b> to update the Resource perspective and <b>Yes</b> to the subsequent |
| confirmation dialog. The new perspective layout will be used if you |
| reset the perspective or open a new one.</p> |
| <blockquote> |

| </blockquote> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <P CLASS="Para">In the Resource perspective move |
| the Outline view so that it is now stacked with the Tasks view.</P> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p CLASS="Para">Choose <b>Window > Reset Perspective</b>. |
| Notice the Outline view is stacked with the Navigator. Originally |
| when we first started the Workbench it was below the Navigator, |
| but because we saved the perspective with Repositories and Outline |
| stacked, it now considers this its initial layout. </p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <P CLASS="Para">Choose <b>Window > New Window</b> to open a second window |
| showing the resource perspective. Observe that it uses the |
| newly saved layout. </P> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <P CLASS="Para">Close the second window.</P> |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| <p CLASS="Para">Now that we have forever changed our Resource perspective you're |
| probably hoping there is some way to get back the original layout. To reset the |
| Resource perspective to its original layout:</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li> |
| <p CLASS="Para">Choose <b>Window > Preferences</b>.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p CLASS="Para">Expand <b>Workbench</b> and choose <b>Perspectives</b>.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p CLASS="Para">Select the <b>Resource</b> |
| perspective and click the <b>Reset</b> button and then Click <b>OK</b>. |
| <blockquote> |
| <p CLASS="Para"><img src="../images/Image71_pers_reset.gif" alt="Reset Perspective" border="0" width="607" height="541"></blockquote> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p CLASS="Para">We have undone any changes to |
| the saved state |
| of the perspective. If we also want to |
| update the current copy of the Resource perspective that we are working |
| with we must also choose <b>Window > Reset Perspective</b> from the Workbench's menubar. </p> |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
