Panels system transforms complex design data into accessible, interactive interfaces around the workspace.
Panels system transforms complex design data into accessible, interactive interfaces around the workspace.
These dynamic panels serve as intelligent windows into various aspects of your project, providing real-time feedback, component information, design rule status, and navigation tools that adapt contextually to your current design activities. From the essential Properties panel that displays detailed object attributes to the powerful Components panel for library browsing, each panel is engineered to enhance design productivity while maintaining workspace efficiency.
The panel framework operates on advanced docking and floating principles, allowing engineers to create multi-monitor setups with panels distributed across screens for maximum information visibility. Each panel maintains awareness of the current design context, automatically updating its content based on selected objects, active layers, or current design rules being evaluated. This intelligent behavior ensures that critical information is always available without requiring manual navigation through complex menu structures or separate dialog boxes.
Access comprehensive object properties, design rule violations, and component specifications through panels that update instantaneously as you select and modify design elements, providing immediate validation and parameter adjustment capabilities.
Utilize specialized panels like the Navigator for hierarchical project browsing, the Messages panel for tracking design issues, and the History panel for monitoring design changes, creating a comprehensive overview of project status and progress.
Leverage integrated library panels that provide seamless access to component databases, manufacturer part information, and 3D models, enabling rapid component selection and placement while maintaining real-time inventory and lifecycle status awareness.
