Chained batches are displayed with a connecting line in the time window. By selecting the
batches and then the shortcut menu command "Cancel connection to predecessor", the
chaining is broken again.
Note
● Deleting chained batches can result in the interruption of batch chain.
Tips:
● You zoom the time scale by pressing the CTRL key and the right mouse button at the same
time.
● If you select a batch and the "Display" command in the shortcut menu, the time segment
associated with the batch is displayed in the time window. Information about shortcut menu
command: If the batch to be chained is displayed in the time segment by the "Display"
command, the chaining mode is lost. Instead, shift the time window until the batch to be
chained is visible in the time segment.
● If you select the batch and use the "Go to Predecessor" command in the shortcut menu,
you will jump to the predecessor in the time window.
