What's new in Network Notepad Professional Edition 1.3.8

• Format script object:
• Format Script Object provides an environment for creating and modifying Script Objects. Access it from the Format menu or right-click a Script Object in a diagram or the library window.
• $ADDRLIST Variable:
• You can create a special object which is used to start NNPing for multiple nodes at once.
• Add an object and label it "Ping all".
• In the Address property for the object, list the IP addresses of multiple nodes separated by ";" characters e.g.
• 192.168.1.1;192.168.1.2;192.168.1.3;192.168.1.4;192.168.1.5
• Configure a function button like this:
• Command:
• NNPing $ADDRLIST 5000 3 up.wav 3 down.wav
• Display:
• NNPing List
• Network Notepad Scripts:
• Network Notepad Script Objects are a way to construct vector-based graphics for use in Network Notepad.
• Click the Copy button next to the examples below and then paste in to Network Notepad.
• Some browsers prompt you to allow access to the clipboard when you click the Copy button.
• Scripts are also available from the scripts library.
• Network Notepad Scripts Help:
• A Script Object consists of the following statements:
• The script statement sets the name, overall size of the object, and the revision number.
• Align statements optionally enable objects to be automatically aligned when one object is pasted or dragged and dropped on to another object.
• Path statements define the shapes, lines and text in the object.
• Pen and Brush statements define the pens and brushes used in the commands section below.
• Commands are used to draw paths using pens and fill paths using brushes. The options command enables optional drawing commands to be executed at runtime by right clicking an object and selecting "Options".
• Grouping and Locking:
• Group objects by first selecting the parent object followed by any child objects, then select Format > Group.
• Selecting the parent object now also selects all child objects when copying, nudging, dragging and dropping, etc.
• To Lock a group, right click the parent object and choose Lock > Group Lock.
• Now when you resize the parent object, all child objects are proportionally resized as well.
• Wake-On-LAN PluginL
• Define a "Wake Up" function button like this:
• NNPing $ipaddress 1000 3 up.wav 3 down.wav on&&nnwol.exe $VAR1
• Where user variable $VAR1 is set to provide <broadcast IP address> <port> <mac-address>
• e.g. "192.168.1.255 9 21-3a-55-37-6e-76"
• This will start NNping for the object selected and then send a WOL magic packet to it.
• The $VAR1 user variable is configured in the object's properties page on the Misc Tab.
• "&&" enables multiple functions to be executed in one definition.
• The nnping "on" parameter disables the toggling state of nnping.
• Open Multiple Documents Simultaneously:
• You can now open more than one document at once. Each open document presents its own tab bar at the bottom of the window, where you can select pages from any open document instantly. You can also drag and drop or copy and paste pages between documents using the page tabs. These features are mainly useful if you work with many multi-page documents so it is disabled by default. To enable it, set the "Maximum Open Documents" setting in the Setup Form to a sensible figure such as 6.
• Nested Link Styles:
• E.g. in the following drawing the Dual 10G links consist of a red link 5 pixels wide with a secondary white link which is 3 pixels wide. See the Format Link Styles menu option for more information.
• NNPing Plugin for Network Notepad Professional Edition:
• The NNPing plugin provides a real time visual and audio indication of the state of objects in your diagram.
