Panel Builder


Recommended Posts

I'm still wrapping my head around Panel Builder/Panels and I was wondering two things:

 

1) How do I update panel connectors after the panel is created? If I click on the Panel Builder tool in the Object Info palette it asks to create a new panel.

 

2) Is there a way improve the look of the default panel graphic that's generated for schematics or can I tie the panel to a custom schematic block? We typically are used to seeing panels presented a little more similarly to device blocks (see attached screenshot).

- Double click on the panel layout object to enter it and edit its panel connectors directly.

- It is not possible to customize the graphics of the created schematic device at this time. As for linking the panel to a custom device, this is possible but the device must be of the same device type. Then you can select the device from the OIP of the panel layout.
