Re : measure front panel

[olivier66]

Hi,
I would like to know if there's a tool for measuring front panel objects, this way I could be able to adapt my front panel objects to the front panel with the right place easyly.
Because I need to divide the width by for and make the 4 bloc the exact same width.

thanks

When you click on the resize handles of an object a little box shows up somewhere on the screen (often down near the bottom) which has the dimensions in pixels of the object. In the Letest versions of LV you can also see the panel size whne moving the scrollbars.

Hi lynn and thanks
I cannot see the little box you told me about, does it have a name or is there an option to activate to see this box?

thanks,

Olivier

It is a little yellow box like a free label which appears just outside the window of the panel at the bottom center. It has the size of the object in pixels like (75,23). I don't know what they call it and I did not see a preferences setting which was obviously linked to this. What version of LV are you using?

Put a flat box (or any other decoration to separate these 4 boxes) on the front panel and make it the size you want. As Lynn said, when you resize it you should see a tooltip that tells you the current dimensions. Now copy and paste it 3 times and you have 4 equally sized boxes.

HI
I don't have any yellow box but I found a way to do it, I guess it is because Im under LV 7.01,by using the bouton resize objects and then set width and height I can find dimensions of my  decorations and copy them to the others .

Thanks
