-The Dashboard Panel is opened by selecting it in the View menu. Unlike the [[System Panel]], the Dashboard panel gives only a top-down view of the components, though they can be made more lifelike by clicking on the ‘3D view’ icon. [[File:3DViewIcon.png|border]]. Components are typically designed in the [[System Panel]] and then used during programming in the dashboard.
