About the Bay Editor

The Bay Editor is used to predetermine the bay properties before placing products in the drawing. The benefits of using the Bay Editor include:

• Ability to customize and edit bay properties
• Apply updated bay properties directly in the drawing
• Save and load reusable templates

A bay is a set of stacked compartments between two uprights. A compartment is a space where pallets are stored and consists of the horizontal (beam) and vertical (upright) components.

Using the Bay Editor

To open, click Bay Editor in the Settings component section.

1. The Save button will save just the selected frame type. If you have multiple frame types, you will need to save each one individually. Because these files are saved locally, they can be moved or shared. The Load button will allow you to browse for a previously saved frame style. A loaded file is listed in the Types of Frame area.
2. Types of Bay lists your loaded bay type and drawing bay type. Selecting a bay type will preview it in the editing window.
   • • The button will add a new default bay type.
     • The button will refresh the Bay Editor. 
3. There are three properties tabs: Size, Level, and Accessory.
4. The Editing Window is the area to make the changes to the selected frame type.
5. The Bay tool activates the selected bay type to be applied to a rack inside the drawing. Clicking on the Bay tool will temporarily close the Bay Editor. Press the ESC button on your keyboard to end the command and return to the Bay Editor window.
