Create one object at a time
|
Indicates object insertion behavior for gates and events in the FTA module, states in the Markov module, and blocks and junctions in the RBD module. When this checkbox is cleared (default), after you insert one of these objects, you remain in insert mode, which means that to insert additional objects of the same style, you continue to click the left mouse button. To exit this mode, you either click the right mouse button or press the Esc key, which returns you to select mode. When this checkbox is selected, after you insert one of these objects, you return to select mode. When you select this checkbox and Show properties after create, the Properties window for an object opens immediately after its insertion. For more information, see Specifying Object Insertion Behavior.

Specifies the measurement unit that the diagram module is to use. Choices are:
• English — When selected (default), the measurement is in inches.
• Metric — When selected, the measurement is in centimeters.

Print crop marks
|
Indicates whether to print crop marks on Markov diagram and RBD reports having multiple pages. When this checkbox is selected (default), crop marks are printed.
