Show/File

The Show/File section in Document Options contains settings that are specific to the current show file, such as show name, designer, and venue. You might want to modify these settings when you start a new show file.

Document Summary tab

Options on the Document Summary tab affect the document information (such as name of the person who created the document and the name of the person who last modified the document). The date stamps are not editable, but will track the creation and modification dates of the file.

Production Team Info tab

The Production Team Info tab shows all of your production team’s information in one easy to access place. The values in this tab reflect those that you enter in the Production Team Information Wizard. For more information on this Wizard, see Production Team Info Wizard.

Regional Settings tab

Options on the Regional Settings tab set the geographic location of your show. You can either select the country and city or enter the latitude and longitude of the location. These settings are used in Shaded views and renderings that use environmental options.

• Custom Location: Select this checkbox to enter the latitude and longitude values in the Latitude and Longitude boxes, respectively. Clear this checkbox to select a country and city from the Country and City drop-down lists, respectively.
• Time Zone: After selecting Custom Location, select the time zone for your show. When you select a time zone, the current time as set on your computer is displayed in the Current Time box. The GMT value is also shown.
• Currency: Select the Show Currency Symbol checkbox to show monetary symbols in the WYSIWYG document. Specific currency symbols can be chosen from the Currency Symbol drop-down list.

Note: Changing the currency symbol will only change the symbol shown. No conversion of currency will occur.
