Compatibility

Click to display the [Compatibility] dialog box.

When a project file created in GP-Pro PB III for Windows is converted, it may operate differently in GP-Pro EX. This dialog box aligns GP-Pro EX to match features in GP-Pro PB III for Windows.

When this check box is selected, the method of filling in parts will be the same as GP-Pro PB III for Windows. In GP-Pro EX, filling in Parts may not occur in the converted project file.

When the Window Part check box is selected, upper left of the base screen is used as the coordinate position of Window Parts even when Window Part is placed on the load screen. In GP-Pro EX, the upper left of the load screen is used as the coordinate position of Window Part.

When the Draw Using Standard Font check box is selected, text will be displayed in Gothic Font even then it is standard font and text size is larger than 32 X 32. In GP-Pro EX, text will display using Mincho font.

Select this check box if you want the back light to be turned ON when the display unit detects that it is OFF.

(Depending on the environment and other conditions, the back light may delay to turn ON after the display unit is started. In this case, the display unit determines that the back light is OFF, and screen touch operations are disabled. This setting will prevent a disable touch operation caused by delay.)
