On the Layout View page, the page you see when building courses, you can customize how AC Master displays the information you need to build a course.


Click the gear icon in the top right of your screen to show the Settings dialog:





Changes are saved when you click the "X" to close the dialog and used for all layouts.



Adjusting the Grid


There are five controls for the grid:

  • Show Numbers - hide/show the numbers around the edge of the grid.
  • Size - controls the size of the numbers around the edge of the grid.
  • Show Grid - hide/show the grid itself separately from the numbers.
  • Line Thickness - how thick/obvious the grid lines are.
  • Grid/Number Color - choose the color to make it easy to see the grid/numbers against the map image.



Changing How Locations are Displayed


The location you click on the layout view is shown in the title and footer of the page.


If your place is measured in feet you have three choices:

  • Feet - where inches are rounded up/down to the nearest foot
  • Feet & Inches - where both feet and inches are displayed
  • Decimal feet - where inches are displayed as 10ths of a feet

Metric places always display locations as meters with 0.1 meter precision


You can turn off displaying the location above the cursor using the Show Coordinates switch.
Obstacle points/locations are only visible on maps when you add obstacles via the Masters level upgrade.


Show Origin turns on/off arrows showing the X and Y baselines/origin axes.



Cross Hair/Obstacle Points

The Cross Hair is the plus sign shown when you click/tap on the layout. You can change its size and its color to help you see it better when building a course.


Obstacle points can also have their size and color changed. 


When you click/tap any where in an obstacle point ACMaster automatically selects the center of the point! This makes it much faster to build courses, you don't have to carefully select the center of each jump/ends of each contact.

So make them as large as you like (but not hiding each other) for easier tapping when building your course.


Obstacle points/locations are only visible on maps when you add obstacles via the Masters level upgrade.




Reset the Settings

If ever want to change all the settings back to their defaults click the Rest to Defaults button at the bottom of the dialog. You can close the dialog to save the defaults or make some other changes and then close/save your settings.
