Creating Preview Images

To aid in the creation of preview images that are embedded in G4 PanelBuilder template files, the Create
Template Preview Image tool has been added to the Page menu.
In order for a TP4 file to be successfully exported as a G4 PanelBuilder Template file (*.TPT), the TP4
project file must contain at least one Main Preview Image. However, you can create multiple preview
images to represent various elements in the project.
Preview Images are used in G4 PanelBuilder for both the thumbnail images displayed in the Template
Manager, as well as the icons in the toolbox.
To create preview images for your G4 PanelBuilder template:
