How can I use panel view grids?
Panel view grids are a helpful tool to line up buttons and frames. A panel view grid is a set of up
to 64 horizontal and 64 vertical line segments. The main use for grids is g
rid snappin
g, which
restricts button and frame locations to
grid location
s, the locations where the line segments of a
grid intersect. Grid snapping affects button and frame moving, dropping a button or frame
dragged from a panel or the gallery, as well as button or frame resizing.
All grid functions are accessible through the
Grid
submenu of the
Panel
menu or the
Grid
submenu of the panel view pop-up menu. Default grid settings, which affect all newly opened
panel views, can be set in the
Settings
menu. The following is an overview of some of the
things you can do with grids:
•
ProntoEdit stores 10 different default grids, which are automatically
assigned to a panel view when it is opened. The grids can be modified
per panel view without affecting the default grids. Use the
Set Default
Grid
submenu of the
Settings
menu to set any of ProntoEdit’s default
grids to the current grid of the active panel view.
