Virtual  Desktops

Introduction

Virtual Desktops are the virtual workspaces within ARC (formerly EZ-Builder).  ARC gives you two virtual desktops to display your Controls across, allowing you to organize your project in a convenient manner.  Additional virtual desktops can be added, if desired.

We will guide you through an example project showing you how to organize Controls across multiple virtual desktops.


What You Will Need

  • PC computer with ARC Installed

Step 1
​Load the JD Humanoid Example Project.
Step 2
In the main menu at the top of the screen, notice that there are two virtual desktops.  Notice that each button is a screenshot of that desktop making it easy to differentiate between virtual desktops.
Step 3
​Add a third virtual desktop.
Step 4
​Click on the second desktop, in the main menu at the top of the screen.  You can see that we already have the Mobile Interface Control in this virtual desktop.

​To move a Control from one virtual desktop to another, right click on the Control title bar and select your target virtual desktop from the drop-down menu.  In this example, let's move the Mobile Interface Control to Desktop 3.
Step 5
​Navigate to Desktop 3 to confirm that the Mobile Interface Control is now located there
Keep in mind that all ARC Controls work the same way as the Mobile Interface Control that we used in this example.
