Use Custom Element

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Once the custom element is created, you can use it like other elements: drag and drop into the editing area, or double-click to add to the plot. You can create multiple instances of the custom element.

use_custom_element

When you move mouse cursor over the custom element, a small manage toolbar will be displayed:

custom_elem_hover

There are three small buttons in the manage toolbar:

remove_custom_elem_button button will remove the custom element from the "Custom Elements" category. It will NOT delete the .fce file.

edit_custom_elem_button button can bring out the custom element info window and allows you to edit the element.

move_custom_elem_to_lib_button button can move the custom element to a library (folder actually).

If you remove the custom element from the "Custom Elements" category, the .fce file will not be deleted, thus you can load it back into the category:

load_custom_elem_back
