I am running a 1080p screen and I have hit the limit of the amount of space on the PlasmaTool Options dialog. The dialog does not scroll and it is not automatically rolling over into a two column format.
Is there a way to enable scrolling or trigger the layout to auto flow into dual column? Or is there another way to solve for this problem?
I had thought of moving the options to the Operation Options dialog but given these are piercing specific they feel like they more naturally align to the plasma tool. But happy to be educated as to why that is wrong and should be moved to the Operation level.
Thanks - James.

1080p should be plenty. The plasma tool dialog should fit on a 720p display. Are you running a post processor that adds a lot of extra options?

Yes, adding a lot (8) of extra fields to support a more complex ramping pierce.

I'm afraid there isn't much I can do about it in the short term. I'll add scrolling to the to-do list.

Can you make the lower section of the window display in 2 columns if there are too many fields to fit? I would think that would be easier than scrolling and would make better use of the window.

Unfortunately that would be quite hard to implement.

Thanks Les. I have used a single text field that holds the parameters to go to the PP.
