Info Viewer

The Info Viewer option provides a convenient summary of model and analysis information in its own view. Use the scroll bar on the right to scroll through the information. The Info Viewer behaves like any other view in Phase2 – i.e. it can be re-sized, tiled, minimized, maximized and closed.

The Info Viewer option is available in both the Phase2 Model and Phase2 Interpret programs.

• In the Phase2 Model program, only model information is listed.

• In the Phase2 Interpret program, model information is listed, as well as analysis information.

• In both Phase2 Model and Phase2 Interpret, the Info Viewer is available in the toolbar or the File menu.

The Info Viewer information can be saved by the user in a variety of ways, for including in reports, documents, etc. Info Viewer text can easily be added to views of the model, with the Text Box option.

Copy to Clipboard

The Info Viewer information can be copied to the clipboard using the Copy option in the toolbar or the Edit menu, or by right-clicking in the view and selecting Copy. From the clipboard, the information can be pasted into word processing programs for report writing.

Save to File

The Info Viewer information can be saved to a text file (*.TXT) or rich-text format file (*.RTF), by right-clicking in the view and selecting the desired Save As option, or by selecting the desired Save As option from the File menu, while the Info Viewer is the active view.

NOTE: a rich-text format file preserves the text formatting that you see in the Info Viewer as it is displayed in Phase2. A plain text file saves the text only, with no formatting.

Printing

The Info Viewer information can also be sent directly to your printer using the Print option in the File menu.

Adding Info Viewer Text to a View

In the Phase2 Interpret program, any information in the Info Viewer (for example, Material Properties) can easily be added to a view of the model, using the Auto-Text feature of the Text Box option in the Tools menu. See the Text Box topic for details.
