Pixel Mapper editor - Corrected Grid view after pasting

You can change Name, PosX, PosY und Rot of the panel. If you select e.g. only PosX in the Excel Sheet (and copy

that into the clipboard), then set the marker in the cell from where you want to change the values and you paste

this information into the VPU software, only these values will be overwritten. So selected copy paste is possible

as well.

Hint

:

If no real keyboard is connected you can use the on screen keyboard to enter values into the grid.

Therefore do a right mouse click into the grid.
