Before you begin adding and configuring individual Mimic objects, you should make use of the settings on the Options window and also those on the Mimic Properties window. These two windows allow you to define default settings that apply to either:
- Every Mimic that is displayed on your client
Or:
- Every New Mimic that is configured on your client
Or:
- The Mimic on which you are working.
By defining appropriate default settings, you can significantly reduce the amount of time and effort required to configure your Mimics, especially if you are configuring multiple Mimics that need to have objects with similar or identical properties. For example, let us assume that you are going to create and configure 4 Mimics, and each of these Mimics needs to have text boxes that use the same font styles and colors and so on. Rather than configure each Mimic’s text boxes individually, you can define the text box settings in the default settings. Then every text box that you add will have the required settings already in place (as the new text boxes will use the default settings automatically).
In the following sections, we explain how to use the Options window and Mimic Properties window to apply settings that can affect one or more Mimics.
