CM Editor Button

The CM Editor is used to write and modify the CMC command files and CMS script files associated with the map. You should thoroughly read the sections on CMC Files and CMS Programming before you try to use the CM Editor.

There is always a script file associated with a map file, but it's loaded and saved automatically when the map is loaded and saved, a process that is essentially transparent. The script file has the same name as the map file but has the extension ".CMS". The script will do nothing if no programming is added via the Script Editor.

For this button to be enabled, the "CMS Controls" must have been added to the map. If you used the Map Wizard to create the map and told it you wanted to use the CMS Scripting facility then the CMS Controls will already be present. If not, you can add the CMS Controls using the "Add Button" on the Tool Bar.

The Control Manager Editor button looks like this:


The script editor itself is a simple plain-text editor. For more information on using the editor, see the CMS Script Editor section.
