ver. 7.3 Release Notes

Feature Highlights

Create a Settings File from Existing

You can now create a new settings file from the parameters of one or more source settings files. You can also remove settings from an existing settings file. This replaces the partial settings creation window.

Support for Control Assistant Tune Files

Added the ability to open Control Assistant tune files (*.tc). After opening the file, all the normal settings functions can be performed. Saving a .tc file can be saved as a .wset file only as ToolKit will not support saving to the .tc format going forward.

Change Sort Order of Generic Settings Editor

Removed the settings editor tree view and sort settings by name. Adding new settings keeps them in the proper order. The order can be changed by clicking on other column headers. Clicking column headers, toggles between ascending and descending order.

Filter Settings in Generic Settings Editor

Added the ability to filter settings by identifier, based on filter text entered into the generic settings editor. The settings listing shrinks the list of settings based on matching the identifier to the entered text.

Custom Tool Validation in Design Mode

Tool developers can now run tool validation rules against their custom tool to find and fix potential issues. Rules can be turned on and off as desired. The validation can be found in the Design Tools Window on a new tab named "Validation".

Support for Large Settings Files

ToolKit can now better handle settings files with a large number of settings (> 65K settings).
