Copying and Grouping Tools/Elements
Posted: Wed Apr 29, 2020 7:00 am
Had a go for over a half day on GTT designer and I have some feature questions.
Question 1:
I have created an interface for one channel of controls (think channel 1 for an oscilloscope) for the device we are working toward developing. I have all of the interface elements I want for this channel. I was going to then copy this and paste three times but to my disappointment, a group of tools/elements cannot be copied and then pasted. Will this be a future feature?
Question 2:
It looks like you can make a group of tools/ elements but I could not get a group of a group(s) working. Am I correct? And if so, will this be a future feature?
Question 3:
I was going to get around the issues I encountered on Q1 and Q2 by just having no groups at all and select multiple tools/ elements at once but it looks like I cannot do that either. This means I am stuck manually placing everything on the screen for every channel! I understand no making a groups of groups and copying groups as this could be annoying to program such a data structure but selects and copies and pastes should be a minimum feature to help alleviate the interface design process for instruments that have more than one channel of control. Unless there is another way to do this?
