copy paste a front panel object to the very same xy location

Solved!
Go to solution

Hello,

 

Just a practical question, but I would need this kind of feature very often:

How can I copy-paste a front panel object to the very same location? Lets consider I have a TAB container, and on the first page, I have a Graph. I would like to make a same graph on the second page of the TAB, but at the very same XY location compared to the TAB container.

 

Thanks very much!

You can use a property node to set the position of any front panel object.

sorry, I did not specify my problem properly:

I do not want to do this during runtime. I need an easy way to copy paste objects on the front panel during the construction of my front panel. So when I edit it...

hm, I have just realized, there is an option to "duplicate page" for the TAB containers 🙂 And it does the magic for me, creates the exact copies of all the objects 🙂

In case you don't want to copy the complete Tab you could also place two perpendicular decoration lines above the Tab control and adjust your front panel object to them. When you are done, delete the decorations.
