Advanced Layout and Relational View Editing

Some features of layouts and relational views cannot be set using the layout or relational view editor. However, you can set these features by editing the .xsivw or .xsily files in a text editor or XML editor.

Some features you can set in this way are:

• Creating auto-hide panels, as in the Auto-Hide layout.

• Synchronizing and aligning the current frame among timeline, fcurve editor, dopesheet, and animation mixer panes.

• Creating relationships between panes in layouts.

• Making layout panels optional.

Take a look at the .xsivw and .xsily files installed in the factory location to see how they were put together. There are also some sample views in the SDK Examples workgroup (see SDK Example Workgroup).
