| Dariusz:
Thanks tahnok100 for you feedback. I found a few other bug. I running XP with all service patches. CP froze on me when creating my own panel when turning on 'show under CP' then turning it off after some other editing was done. Also the tool bar icons do not work for me. I do have some sugestions for yoiu new release if you wish to include. These are 1. Have a metric option. other than imperial. You may find you response in the previous post easier to do! 2. Is there are way of importing other devices? 3. Is it possible to convert the format to a CAD? This way panels can be laser cut. 4. Is it possible to round edges of the control panner to what ever radius the user wants? that was its easier to design a CP for T moulding. 5. Can you include a schedule that list the hole drill sizes for each device on a panel. Question: How does show positions work. Are the reserences in Inches, and what is the reference point to measure from?. Well thanks and keep up the good work. Dariusz |

The only XP machine I have though is my laptop, which can be rather hard to test on. 1: Being located in the US, I naturally use imperial. I have considered an option for metric units, but, at the time, it is impractical. I will still look into it though, seeing how it is the most asked for feature. 2: Not at this time. What exactly are you trying to import? I try to add most parts that people request. Importing objects was something that I tried to work the bugs out of for this release, but just didn't make it. 3: No, I don't think I will ever do this. 4: Well, yes and no. There isn't a part for it, like the edge one. But you can use the background image to make an edge. Just make you background image have the same color outside its shape as the outside of the CP (outside of CP color can be set in the ini file). 5: I don't think I'm following you. What exactly do you mean, schedule? As far as drill hole sizes; that would require a ton of research for each part. Most of the time, manufactures don't have that kind of information available except for their most popular parts. Yes, the references, like the rest of the program, are in inches. It is to the center of the part from the upper left corner. |

How does changing tints work? When I have tried to change tints on a button image with Gimp, the edges usually get all messed up and it doesn't look like a button, for example. How do you change the color on part of the button image and not on all of it? For example, if I change the tint to all white, not all the button image becomes white. Part of it even stays black (the shadows around the edge) Also, you might put in something a bit more friendly when a file fails to open, currently the program terminates. I think there are canned dialogs for that. |

If you set the color of a part to 255,255,255 you will see the original graphic. That is how all of the graphics work, none of them change only part of it. It's actually a good thing that black does not change color too much, since it is used for things like dust covers. I meant to include something like what I did with a missing background file for the open menu. I guess I forgot about it though. |

I uploaded a split version of the main file and updated the main post with more information. I've been working on a new version of the program with a part editor. School is keeping me pretty busy, but it should be out soon. |
