<h1>Adding Blocks</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>To add a new Block, click the <strong>Add…</strong> button at the bottom left edge of
|
|
the Block Table pane.</p>
|
|
|
|
<img src="images/BlockAdd.png" alt="Block editing pane">
|
|
|
|
<p>In the pane that opens, enter a valid System Name for the Block and if desired enter a
|
|
User Name. Blocks are "internal" objects with a system name prefix of IB. While the user
|
|
name is optional, if the block is going to be used as a block for Layout Editor track, it must
|
|
have a user name. User names are also required if "Automatically generate System Name" is
|
|
enabled. Both names must be unique within the Block table. See the "<a href=
|
|
"../../../../html/doc/Technical/Names.shtml">Names</a>" Help page for more information.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Click [Create] to complete this step. Click [Cancel] to close the pane (don't worry,
|
|
already created items will stay).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Complete the definition of the new Block by closing the Add New Block pane and clicking
|
|
the <strong>Edit</strong> button at the right of the newly created Block entry in the
|
|
<a href="BlockTable.shtml">Block Table</a>.<br>
|
|
Fill out all fields as described on the <a href="BlockEdit.shtml">Block Attributes</a> Help
|
|
page.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Creating a Number of Blocks</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>It is also possible to create a number of Blocks in one go.<br>
|
|
Where supported, the "Add a sequential range" check box will be enabled.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Checking the "Add a sequential range" box will enable the "Number of items" field. Set the
|
|
number of Blocks that you wish to add. Clicking [Create] will create a number of sequentially
|
|
numbered Blocks.<br>
|
|
If a User Name has been entered, a number will be added to the end of that name (starting by
|
|
#2) to keep each Block User Name unique.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Adding Block Properties</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>To add the details of a new Block, close the Add Block pane by clicking Cancel or the
|
|
Close/X button and click <strong><a href="BlockEdit.shtml">Edit</a></strong> to the right of
|
|
the new entry in the Block Table.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>See <a href="../../../../html/doc/Technical/Names.shtml">Names</a> under General Help for
|
|
more information on JMRI object naming.</p>
