System Panel - Text Labels, Zoom and Pan

[Jay Dee]

I'm having another FC6 road rage moment...working away quite happily until you have to interact with the damn system panel.

How can I place a text label next to an LED?
How can I Pan or Zoom around the flippin window?

Sorry but months on and now painfully converting old V5's to V6 and even the simple things slowing me up.

Hello,

How can I place a text label next to an LED?

We have added bill boarded labels to the LED components in the next patch which hopefully should be available soon so you don't have to do this yourself.

How can I Pan or Zoom around the flippin window?

Zooming can be done by holding down the control key and scrolling in or out with the mouse wheel. If you don't have a mouse with a wheel then hold control and then click and drag up or down on the magnifying glass that appear at the top left of the panel.

Pan can be done by holding control and dragging on the panel with the Pan mode selected on the icons at the top of the panel window.

Fantastic Ben,
Ctrl and Scroll wheel Zoom are just what I was after.
Kind of got the hang of the Pan thingy as well.
Is there some sort of button to return to default view, after I've rotated to all funny angles?

Hello,

Yes if you click the coloured arrows at the top left of the panel then this will reset the rotational aspect of the view to the plane. X=Red, Y=Green, Z=Blue, default is to be looking down on the Z plane.

Right clicking the panel and selecting "look at the origin" will pan so that location 0,0,0 is at the center.
