Customize Engineering UI

This article discusses how to customize Engineering UI with a few settings.

First, we open the hamburger menu on the top right corner. This will open a secondary menu with different options as shown below.

Layout

Themes

Engineering UI has two themes; light and dark. You can find these settings under Layout section as shown in the picture below.

Toggle Quick Menu

This opens the Engineering UI tree menu to the left side.

Save Layout and Reset Layout

You can create a custom layout for displays and reset it when it is no longer needed. Steps to configure:

1. Open the displays in Engineering UI you want to be included in the same frame.

2. Detach one of the tabs from the tab ribbon. This will bring out five black squares to the screen that allow you to replace the floating tab. Drag the tab on top of one of the squares to see how it would be placed. Drop the tab by letting go of the mouse when the placement is as wished. Repeat this with the other tabs as well.

   

3. You can resize the tabs as you wish.

   

4. After all tabs are placed and sized as wished, open the hamburger menu on the top right corner and press Save Layout.

5. After the layout was successfully saved, refresh the Engineering UI and the new layout should open.

6. If you don't want to use the created layout, simply choose Reset Layout in the hamburger menu. The page will refresh and after opens the Engineering UI with the default display settings.

Disable (and Enable) Active Window Sync

Active tab shows hovered on tree menu as well. The hovering follow when we switch between tabs. This can be disabled. When disabled, the tree menu shows the latest selection. This action can be enabled later, if needed.
