I want to use common parts on multiple screens.

This section explains how to use the same part, such as menu buttons displayed at the top of the screen, on multiple screens.
In VT STUDIO, you can create a screen on which you have placed just the parts that you want to share between multiple screens, and then call this screen from other screens.

Creating the screen with the common parts

1. Click “New screen” to create the screen on which to place the common parts.

  • *
    As shown below, it is a good idea to use a large page number to differentiate this screen from normal screens. This will make the screens easier to manage.

2. Place the common parts to display on other screens.

Reusing common parts

3. Display the screen on which you want to show the common parts you have created.
From the menu, select [Parts] -> [Call up screen].

4. Place a screen calling part (its position and size will be adjusted later, so you do not need to do so here).
Use “Screen ID” to specify the screen in which you have placed the common parts, and then click [OK].

5. The screen in which you have placed the common parts is displayed. Drag it with the mouse to reposition it.

6. Create the screen with the other parts.

Any corrections you make to the called screen will be applied to all other screens calling it.
