Port Names Toolbar

The Port Names Toolbar allows you to view a list of Port Names that can be inserted or selected that will affect the Port Filter of the current display.

The Port Names Toolbar is synchronized to the display menu. When a display is changed, the Port Names Toolbar will update and show the current Port Filters assigned to that display.

When the Port Name is changed in the Port Names Toolbar, the Port Filters in the current display is reassigned and linked to a different Port Filtering chain.

The Display All display will not be affected by the Port Names Toolbar. The Display All option will show all assets in a scene regardless of the Port Filtering applied.

NOTE The Port Names Toolbar will remember up to ten Port Names at a time.

  1. Add the Display Toolbar to the Toolbar.

  2. Add the Port Names Toolbar to the Toolbar by Right+Clicking in the Toolbar and selecting Port Names.

  3. In the Display Toolbar, select the Display you would like to use.

  4. In the Port Names Toolbar, select the Port Name to which the display should be filtered.

    In the Node view, the Port Filter with the provided name will be generated on the current display. If that Display already had a Port Filter applied, it will be modified to the new value.

    NOTE To get the Port Names Toolbar button, you will need to add it to the Toolbar in the Toolbar Manager. See Adding and Removing Toolbars.
