Script Central

Script Central is a single dialog for managing scripts of all types on your layout. It is a tabbed dialog, with tabs as listed below. It is modeless, so it stays on the screen while you work, and provides handy reference material while you are developing or trying to understand a scripted layout.

Script Central Tabs

Script Central has five tabs as follows. Links go to detail pages.

1 - Scripts	Train scripts, master scripts, and script notes	Scripts tab
2 - Junction Actions	Junction action scripts	Junction Actions tab
3 - Subroutines	Subroutines and procs available in Scripts folder	Subroutines tab
4 - Reference	Reference data for commands, variables, and other language elements	Reference tab
5 - Settings	Settings and actions applying to all scripts	Settings tab

The first four tabs share the same format -- list on the left, text box on the right -- and support many of the same operations, such as:

Click a row in the list, and its contents show up in the text box. In tabs 1-3, the text can be edited and saved.
Right-click a row in the list, and you get a context menu, with commands applying to the selected script.
Double-click a row (or choose Edit from the context menu) to edit in the appropriate editor, depending on the script type.
Click OK or Apply to save changes made to the text. These changes are saved with the layout in memory; they are not saved permanently until you save the layout. Click Cancel to take down the dialog without saving. Cancel changes to Done after you have saved any change. Note that changing tabs in the dialog saves your changes quietly.
