G4 PanelBuilder
Create Snapshots to Clipboard
Since designing panel projects in G4 PanelBuilder is a visual exercise, where you drag and link
individual elements to make a flow within the Diagram area. It is necessary to be able to show the
design or "snapshot" of the intended look. Once you are ready to create a snapshot to your
computer's clipboard:
1.
Select Diagram > Copy Snapshot To Clipboard .
2.
Open a graphic program, i.e., Paint or Photoshop and paste the image into it.
Show and Hide Grid
The Diagram area allows you to visually arrange your panel pages and connect them to create a
flow. You can toggle a grid to snap the elements to on and off. To show the grid:
Select Diagram > Show Grid . When a check is present next to this function in the
Diagram menu, the elements will align incrementally and the gird is shown.
Snap To Grid
The Diagram area allows you to visually arrange your panel pages and connect them to create a
flow. To have the elements snap to the grid:
Select Diagram > Snap To Grid . When the check is present the elements snap to the
grid. The elements align according to the grid in the Diagram area.
Zoom in And out of Diagram
When designing a G4 PanelBuilder file, you place elements within the Diagram area, set properties
and create connections between the elements to establish flow. To zoom in or out of the Diagram
area:
Select Diagram > Zoom Out/In . This function will zoom incrementally.
To select the percentage in which to zoom:
