Here you can adapt basic settings, which affect objects and the working environment, to your own requirements. Apart from the general settings, you have access to other sub-dialog boxes, where you can adapt the settings for certain sections (e.g. Label, Layer, etc.).
Dialog box ATHENA options
db_ath_optionen
Dialog box section Language
Here the language of the dialog boxes and input requests controlled by ATHENA changes.
This setting has no influence on the language of the user interface (ribbon, toolbar and menus)!
Dialog box section General
Use online help Controls whether the online help or the offline help is shown. In order to use the online help, you need an Internet connection. If no Internet connection is available, the offline help is automatically called.
The use of online help is recommended, as it is updated regularly and is therefore more up-to-date than the offline help.
Notification of available updates This shows a notice if an update (service pack) is available for your ATHENA version. The notice is displayed in a speech balloon in the program window at the lower left and contains a link for downloading the service pack.
Overwrite layer properties in viewports Supports the replacement of layer properties in layout viewports (Color, Line type, Lineweight) for ATHENA objects.
The tick box moreover has effects on the display of ATHENA objects with active layer transparency. With the tick box active the layer transparency acts on ATHENA objects. With the tick box inactive ATHENA objects are fully displayed despite the ceased layer transparency.
This tick box affects the performance during layout changes. Under some circumstances the change of layout is slower if you activate the tick box!
Layer information in status bar ATHENA displays the name of the current layer and the number of hidden objects (commands: Objects invisible and Objects visible) in the status section.
Using ATHENA dimension and label layer If you deactivate the tick box, the current layer is used when creating dimensions and labels.
Dialog box section Settings
The buttons in this section lead to sub-dialog boxes where you can view and manage the various object settings and data.
