Are you sure the "Parameter Defaults" dialog is not hidden behind another window? Also, what happens when you double-click on the row? > 2) When a model field is displayd, I want to choose a colour table. I choose > "colour table" in the Display menu, and nothing happens. What do you mean, nothing happens? On my mac, I am able to do go Dashboard --> Displays Tab --> Edit --> Color Table --> Edit Color Table On my previous machine (windows), a colour table dropdown menu would appear with various colour tables options (edit/change range/use default/transparancy/Dimmer/basic/radar/satellite/misc./Solid/), but not anymore. On my mac, I have no problems with this functionality. The "Contour" button on top does work properly. In what way does it not work properly? > 3) If I choose tools - colour table editor nothing happens. On my previous > machine a colour table editor would appear. I cannot reproduce this error, nor any of the errors described above. -Julien > > If you could help me with this I would be most grateful. > > Many thanks in advance, > > Joris de Vroom > > Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: YBQ-374303 Department: Support IDV Priority: Normal Status: Closed
