Pixel Layout

Editor Tool Bar Options

For the shared toolbar items (Undo, Redo, Copy, Paste, Delete, Zoom), the context menu, the selection box, and hotkeys, see Editor Basics. Below are the items specific to the Pixel Layout toolbar.

Alignment: Align selected components with six cardinal directional and positional options. This feature is only available when components are selected.

Offset: Offsets selected components in four cardinal directions by an entered pixel value. This feature is only available when components are selected.

Spread: Adjust the spacing between selected components. This option is only enabled when components are selected.

Draw Cable: Add various wiring/data flow options. These pre-wiring patterns are compatible only with components that have data in and data out ports (daisy-chained compatible). This feature is only accessible in the Pixel Layout view.

Create Zones: This option is only available under the Zone mode.

Auto-Zoning: Enabled by default. While on, using “Draw Cable” to wire selected components in the Pixel Layout also automatically creates or expands the Zone containing them, so wiring and zoning happen in a single step. Disable it to draw wiring chains without creating zones.

Reset All Zone and Connections: Clear all connections within all zones as well as all defined zones.

Quickbatch (generating a grid of cabinets on the canvas) is launched from the Component Library panel, not from this toolbar — see that page for the field reference.

Canvas Display Toggles

A floating panel in the top-left of the canvas controls what’s shown on the tiles, independent of the toolbar above. It has three groups:

• Selection Type: Select Component, Select Line (Connections), and Select Zone. All three are on by default and independent, not exclusive — any combination can be active, letting a single click or the selection box grab multiple object types at once. Turning one off excludes that type from clicking, the selection box, and Select All (Ctrl+A) alike — see Common Issues if cabinets stop being selectable.
• Show Zone: Toggles the Zone overlay layer on or off.
• Tile Label (only one active at a time):
  • Show Connection: Highlights wiring/data-flow connections on tiles.
  • Show Subtype: Labels each tile with its Sub-Type.
  • Show Chain Id: Labels each tile with its daisy-chain Chain ID.
  • Show Address: Labels each tile with its Address.

The Contextual Menu (right-click) on this canvas is the same as everywhere else — see Editor Basics.
