It often happens in the design pattern that has been  do errors in the data entered and you need  to edit a pattern. Edit template can be made during design and after the entry and exit from the program.

Be subjected to editing:

simple and descriptive text make this possible for you to edit them normally - Backspace key, the Delete key from the keyboard or the Undo-Undo the change.and REDO button

 

Editing fields ADIF in a pattern

Starting from version 3.2.2 I deleted possibilty to edit fields ADI , ie scrappep button  Delete  cell , because I see practically that users incorrectly used this  button , trying create on the basis of a different pattern to create a new pattern , This button was not dedicated to this function. Such use this button's caused many pertubating  and was  cause the  errors in the program. It is better to design a pattern again as new pattern , to prevent erroneous behavior of the program. To avoid repeating always from the beginning project  , I recommend saving the various stages of the design pattern under the abbreviated names , ie 1, 2 , 3, 4 etc. After designing the subtitle I recommen saving under the name 1 . After designing  first ADIF fields 1 - line under the name 2 . After designing the 1st line of the QSO fields under the name 3 etc. If you get an error or message . I recommend exit the program and then restart it and begin at  load of last  correct pattern , eg 3 and further design pattern. When you  design   tjhe entire pattern , I recommend check  integrity of the pattern by pressing button's They should be properly appear turn the backlight fields .Then we can save the pattern choice full name and delete all patterns from 1 to the last number being used by

 

The following description of the edit fields was  preserved, because  some people may use the previous version v 3.2.1 and try to edit the field . Also, remain some features there are not associated with the button Delete Cell

=========================================================================================================

 

This type of field can not be edited by use  Backspace or Delete key or the Undo key - as a field that involves have the appropriate  structure pattern template.  To edit such a field you  must first delete the fields , and in its place insert the new field of ADIF.  Describe this treatment for two cases:

Edit the type Pol in the pattern = Table with fields

Operation Undo and Redo operation , can also perform for the data to be entered manually from the keyboard

In addition to the above method of editing the pattern in this type of fields in the pattern - Table with fields , we have available for the following functions still others reached when you press the right mouse button on the pattern or double-click :

Inserts a row above the current cursor position
Inserts a row below the current cursor position
Deleting a row in which the cursor
Inserts columns to the left of the current cursor position
Inserts columns to the right of the current cursor position
Removing columns in the cursor is
Mege selected cells - only horizontal
UnMerge  cells
Aligments of the cells in the rights and down from the current cursor position

 

We caution, however, these features - especially the function Insert column or row. Recommend that before making these operations to save the pattern and then carrying out these operations. Then you can always return to the previous pattern

Only a Merge selected cells into one cell can be made without a previous record

In the case of try to delete the row (or column) in which is although one cell with data you will get the message

Other illegal operations that may cause the appearance of messages are:

merge cells vertically is not allowed. In the case of such a test will get a message

merge cells in the periphery area of the belt is not allowed. The cell periphery can not be merged with each other and can not will be merging with any other cell. Belt edge must be "clear" that the program knows the number of  cells horizontally and vertically. For example, we want to merge cells in which although one is in the area of the belt edge

Attempt to merge with the cell periphery and
message an inability to perform an operation

may not occur • No merge cells already merged with another merged cell in at another level

Attempt to merge with the merged cells on
the other the level  and inability to comply
such operation

 

Editing for the Type field in the pattern = Only Fields

Editing fields in a type field in a pattern = Only field is the same  with the exception that the field is removed. The remaining  location field is changed, ie move to the left by removal of the signs occupied by the removed field

Before removing the pattern might look like --

After removal of the field by button Delete ADIF Field .

To put the new field we need to place the cursor between the two fields - never at the end or the beginning of a field-but for this purpose, we can only use the TAB key, Backspace, Delete, or place the cursor at an empty place and  click  a mouse . . Never can use the spacebar on the keyboard..

Messages if we try to put a new field in place of the current are the same as above.  Also for button Undo. The measure of the correctness of the implementation of the operation is to jumping highlights, if you use buttons <- Previous field  Next field ->  .

Other editing template pattern

Here you can include other edition pattern as

Changing the size of template  pattern for table and no table pattern or change margins to obtain pattern for another printer . In the case of the table array program changes a bit field - will have to be move . Especially valuable when mistakes were made in sizing QSL
Changing the background graphics - Scan bitmap  to another - and create a new structure with a similar - but with a revised position of some fields, eg for our activities in another QTH
