How can we improve NAPA Engineer?

NAPA Engineer: UX/UI, usability

Categories

Refresh

I am using both Designer and Engineer at the same time. I miss the refresh button in Engineer so the changes I have made in Designer is readily available in Engineer. Currently I reopen the database, which is quite swift, but then I "loose" my customised interface.

    Hello, and thanks again for the feedback!

    There should not be a need for a refresh button in NAPA Engineer, because the changes made to the database are up to date by design in Engineer. Consequently reopening the database should not be needed to get the latest changes from the database to Engineer.

    However, in particular cases this might require some extra steps to update the UI to the changes in the database. For example if the arrangement table is open in Engineer, it is needed to retrieve the table again from the database (re-open from UI / GET command). Or, when plotting a setup picture and arrangement, the table needs to be reloaded, which can for example be triggered by getting the arrangement in SM:

    "!end
    dr
    @@sm update
    sm
    get A
    ok
    @@end of update
    set get a
    fill purp
    drw all"

    Ideally the table would also tell you whether its out of date compared to the version in the database, and we are investigating ways to make this visible to the user.
