WorldEditor Tips

This page is a collection of productivity tips for using WED 1.0 and WED 1.1.

= Use the Tool Presets to Save Editing =

Every tool in WED that creates something new has presets at the top of the screen for the properties of the newly created object. By pre-setting these properties before you create your taxiways/runways/objects, etc. you can save time. Preset your tool and you won't have to edit later.

= Multiple Selections with Select Parent/Child =

If you group parts of your workspace together, you can use select parent and then select children to select all of the entities in a single group.

= Multiple Edit =

Option-clicking to change properties will change the property for the entire selection. (For text properties, hold down option while pressing return when done editing.) Combined with selecting all in a group, you can rapidly change the properties of large chunks of your layout.
