  • Guru: RDi 9.6, Part 12 – New Features Targeting New RDi Users

    December 6, 2021 Susan Gantner

    In my previous tip about the latest release (9.6.0.11) of RDi, I promised to cover new features targeting easing the transition from PDM/SEU for new RDi users. If you’re an experienced RDi user, don’t tune out yet — you may find something of interest, too.

    I’ll discuss most of these features in the context of the PDM perspective. This is the perspective designed specifically to ease the transition to RDi. It was introduced originally back in 9.6.0.3 and I covered a little about it in a tip back then. While it was created to target new users, it seems …

  • Guru Classic: Custom Perspectives In RDi, Part 2

    March 6, 2019 Susan Gantner

    In my earlier tip I described how to create a custom perspective and I also described one scenario when custom perspectives come in handy. I promised to follow that up with another way to use custom perspectives.

    I’m often asked questions such as:

    • How do I keep my Outline from disappearing when I’m in full-screen edit?
    • How can I see my RPG Indentation view alongside the full-screen editor view of the source member?

    Custom perspectives can be used as one answer to both questions.

    Of course, when you’re in full-screen edit, you can “peek” at any of your views (such …

  • Guru Classic: Who Needs Custom Perspectives In RDi?

    February 13, 2019 Susan Gantner

    I often talk to people who are confused about RDi perspectives, so I thought this two-part series on why and how to create and use your own custom perspectives would be a good one to update. Very little has changed since the original publication of this first part, but I’ve updated the screen shots and addressed one or two small differences in recent releases. This version assumes you are running at least RDi 9.5

    Who needs custom perspectives in RDi? Just about everyone. At least everyone could probably benefit from them. As you know if you’ve read my earlier tips, …

  • Guru: Confessions Of A Recovering RDi Outline Addict

    May 22, 2017 Susan Gantner

    As an unabashed RDi fan, my list of “favorite features” is pretty long, but right up near the top of the list has always been the Outline view for RPG IV. It was Outline that finally got me to move to WDSC (RDi’s predecessor) from its predecessor, CODE (a.k.a., CODE/400) many years ago.

    I’ve long been amazed at the number of RDi users who say they don’t use Outline – some don’t even have it in their RSE perspective any more. I have always suspected that’s because they closed it by accident long ago and never had a chance to …
