Selecting, Grouping, and Ungrouping Instruments in Panel Designer
In Panel Designer, managing your instruments efficiently is essential for creating organized and professional panel layouts. This guide, available as a Panel Designer Premium Feature, will walk you through the processes of selecting, grouping, and ungrouping instruments to enhance your workflow and organization.
To select an instrument, simply move your mouse cursor over the desired instrument and click on it once. A thin red box will appear around the instrument, indicating that it is now selected. If you need to deselect the instrument, click anywhere on the panel template that isn’t occupied by another instrument. This action will remove the selection, allowing you to continue working without the previously selected instrument being highlighted.
When working with multiple instruments, grouping them can significantly streamline your design process. Begin by clicking on each instrument you wish to group, ensuring that all desired instruments are selected simultaneously. Once you have selected the instruments, navigate to the top tools menu and click on the Group icon on the toolbar. This action will combine the selected instruments into a single group, making it easier to move or manage them together as a unified entity.
If you need to make individual adjustments to instruments within a group, ungrouping them is straightforward. Start by clicking on the grouped instruments to select the entire group. Then, return to the top tools menu and click on the Ungroup icon. This will separate the instruments back into their individual elements, allowing you to edit or move them independently as needed.
By mastering the selection, grouping, and ungrouping of instruments, you can efficiently organize your panel designs, making adjustments faster and maintaining a clean and structured layout. These capabilities not only enhance your design workflow but also contribute to creating more professional and aesthetically pleasing panel configurations.
