Viewing the States of a Multistate Indicator
As an example of this, look at the four states of the Printer object.
To view the four states:
1. Select the Printer Multistate Indicator object in the copier (not the
label that is outside the copier). By default, this object is at State 0.
Select this object
2. Choose Next State from the View menu or press ALT+N.
Tip: To move from one state to any other state, you can also use
the State field in the toolbar. Select the object, click State in the
toolbar, and choose the state you want to move to from the
drop-down list. To move through the states using a keyboard
shortcut, press
CTRL+SHIFT+S. While holding down these keys,
press the up and down arrow keys to move through the states.
3. The object changes to blue on white, with state text “Ok.” It is
now at State 1.
Note: The status bar tells you the current state of the object if the
pointer is positioned on the screen.
4. Move through the remaining states, until you arrive back at State 0.
5. Now select the Printer Multistate Indicator object outside the
copier, and view its four states. You’ll see that its states’ colors
match those of the Printer Multistate Indicator object in the
copier.
