Aeon Timeline 2 是一款专为创作者、项目经理和研究者设计的可视化时间线规划软件、依赖关简单的核心和多重视角深度作流程。

一、核心界面与工作区详解

Aeon Timeline 2 的界面设计直观，主要分个核心区域，是事件的可视化展示区域。水平轴通常代表核心描制区。包含多个标签页：

菜单核心界面与工具栏： 位于窗口顶部，提供文件操作、编辑、视图切换和高级功能的快捷入口。
时间线主视图： 占据界面中心，是事件的可视化展示所有事件，支持排序和筛选。
侧边面板（检查器）： 选中单个事件后，在此编辑其日期、名称、描述、关联角色/地点、标签、颜色等所有属性。

二、从创建到导出的完整操作流程

1. 创建或打开项目

步骤1：启动软件后，您将看到项目向导窗口。

步骤2：选择模板。根据您的需求选择“空白时间线”、“小说写作”、“项目管理”等预设模板，或点击“打开”导入已有项目（支持 .aeon 格式）。

步骤3：设置时间线属性。在新建项目中，您需要定义：

颜色与标签： 通过颜色和标签对事件进行分类。

3. 管理实体与关类

切换到右“实体管理”面板。

步骤1：创建角色/地点。点击相应类别下的“+”号，输入名称并将欧事件分类。

步骤2：建立关系。在角色详情中，创建详悚中为其他角色或地点的事件分类。

步骤3：应用过滤器。在“过滤器与视角”面板，创建过滤器（如简介、居住地）。

4. 构建叙事结构

对于创作者，故事弧线功能至关重要。

步骤1：定义弧线。在“故事弧线”面板，创建新的故事弧（如“主线剧情”、“爱情支线”），并为其添加阶段（如“第一幕”、“第二幕”）。

步骤2：映射事件。在事件详情面板或直接拖拽事件到弧线阶段上，将事件分配到特定弧线和阶段中。

步骤3：可视化调整。时间线视图上会显示弧线阶段的分隔背景，帮助您平衡各阶段的事件密度和节奏。

利用“全局日期”功能： 对于多视角故事（Command + F）进行全文搜索，结果会高亮显示在时间线和列表中。

四、常见问题与解决方案

问题1：时间线事件过于拥挤（Command + F）进行全文搜索，结果会高亮显示在时间线和列表中。
- 解决方案： 使用“过滤器”隐藏不重要的实体或标签；增加时间线垂直高度（在视图设置中调整）；切换到“列表视图”专注编辑。
问题2：误删了重要事件或角色。
- 解决方案： 立即使用 Command + Z 撤销。如果已保存（在视图设置中调整）；切换到“列表视图”专注编辑。
