Overview of Panel Designer 2025 Tools #
The Panel Designer offers a comprehensive suite of tools designed to streamline the creation, customization, and management of your panel designs. Each tool is crafted to enhance your workflow, ensuring that your panel layouts are precise, organized, and professional.
Design Tools #
Drag and Drop Instruments to Your Panel Design: This intuitive functionality allows you to easily place and arrange instruments on your panel. Simply select the desired instrument from the library, drag it onto your panel template, and position it where needed, facilitating quick and efficient layout adjustments.
Undo and Redo Actions: Mistakes happen, and this feature lets you swiftly correct errors or experiment with different layouts without losing progress. By using the undo and redo buttons, you can easily navigate through your design changes, providing flexibility and control over your panel design process.
Rename, Copy, and Delete Panel Designs: Efficiently manage your panel projects by organizing, duplicating, and removing designs as needed. Renaming helps keep your projects identifiable, copying allows for creating variations of existing designs, and deleting removes outdated or unnecessary projects, maintaining a clean and organized workspace.
Alignment and Positioning #
Align Instruments to the Left, Right, Top, or Bottom: Ensure precise placement of instruments by aligning them to the panel’s edges. This tool helps maintain consistent margins and a structured appearance, contributing to a clean and organized panel layout.
Align Two Instruments on Center Horizontally and Vertically: Achieve symmetrical and balanced designs by aligning two instruments along the center axes both horizontally and vertically. This ensures that the instruments are evenly spaced from the panel’s central lines, enhancing the overall aesthetic of your design.
Align Two Instruments Center to Center: Perfect for balancing elements within your panel, this tool aligns the centers of two instruments, ensuring they are perfectly matched in both horizontal and vertical positioning. This alignment fosters harmony and uniformity in your panel design.
Align a Single Instrument to the Center of the Panel: Highlight key instruments by centering them within the panel space. This feature moves the selected instrument to the exact middle of the panel, making it a focal point and enhancing the overall symmetry of your design.
Advanced Alignment Tools #
Enable or Disable Snap-to Grid or Another Instrument: Customize your alignment preferences by toggling the snap-to grid feature or snapping to specific instruments. Enabling snap-to grid helps maintain consistent spacing and alignment, while disabling it allows for more freeform placement according to your design needs.
Group and Ungroup Instruments to Move Them Together: Manage multiple instruments as a single unit by grouping them. This simplifies the process of moving, aligning, or editing grouped instruments collectively, saving time and ensuring uniform adjustments. Ungrouping allows you to revert back to individual elements for separate modifications.
Lock and Unlock Instrument Locations: Prevent accidental movement of critical instruments by locking their positions. This ensures that essential components remain fixed while you edit or adjust other parts of the panel, maintaining the integrity and accuracy of your design.
Bring Instruments to Front or Send Them to Back Individually or in Groups: Layer instruments to create depth and visual hierarchy within your design. By bringing instruments to the front or sending them to the back, either individually or in groups, you can control the stacking order, enhancing the visual organization and clarity of your panel layout.
Customization and Editing #
Add Multiple Instruments at Once: Accelerate your design process by placing several instruments simultaneously. This feature allows you to select and add multiple instruments to your panel in one action, ensuring consistent placement and saving valuable time during the design phase.
Move a Single Instrument by Specific Dimensions: Make precise adjustments to instrument placement by moving them based on exact measurements. Enter specific distances and directions to accurately position an instrument, ensuring meticulous alignment and spacing within your panel design.
Shift and Drag Instruments Along a Horizontal or Vertical Path: Easily align instruments along specific axes by shifting and dragging them horizontally or vertically. This tool facilitates consistent spacing and orderly arrangement, maintaining a structured and professional panel layout.
Use Construction Lines for Advanced Instrument Placement: Utilize guidelines and construction lines to achieve intricate and accurate instrument arrangements. Construction lines serve as temporary guides that help you align and position instruments precisely, enabling the creation of complex and detailed panel designs.
