Sequence Options menu You will find the Sequence Options menu at the bottom right-hand corner of the Sequence Palette. Click to view the pop-up menu. This will bring up the following options: Play Options This dialog box allows you to select one of three modes to use when playing a Sequence. •   No Feedback plays the whole Sequence without refreshing the screen while playing. This mode is the default setting and allows for fastest operations; however, a single opera- tion can’t be seen during play. Only the end result of the Sequence will be visible. •   Refresh After Sequence “refreshes” the screen after each operation. This mode forces the redrawing of the screen, but all of the operations can be distinguished. •   Pause After Sequence will pause the play of the Sequence for a selectable amount of seconds after each operation. This setting is very useful because it allows you to verify each step of a Sequence. •   Update Sequence Settings permanently stores all changed values in a dialog box that is being applied in the Sequence. When unchecked, the changed value will apply only once. Insert Stop This option allows you to place a Stop command at any point in a Sequence. To place a Stop command in a Sequence, do the follow- ing: 1 Open the Sequence and select the location where you wish to place the stop. 2 Open the Sequence Options menu and select Insert Stop. 3 A dialog box opens in which you can enter a text message. This short description will be displayed during play back. This short description can help you organize your work. You may also check the With Continue box if you wish the Sequence to con- tinue playing after the text box is displayed. Click Cancel to reject your entries or the OK button to accept your selections. Sequence Options menu Play Options dialog box Tip If the User Interface for the stop is activated, then a message box pops up with a pre-entered text message. You can choose to continue or to stop. A Stop with text can display messages as the Sequence plays back. A Stop without text simply dis- continues the Sequence.
