Getting Started

Creating A New Project

The first step towards designing a new *.TP4 file is creating a new project file (*.PB4).
1.
Launch the G4 PanelBuilder application.
2.
Select File > New. This launches the New Project dialog.
3.
Type the Job Name in the corresponding field.
4.
Select the Panel Type and Resolution from the drop down menus.
5.
Select your desired template family from the thumbnails listed.
If no templates are shown you will need to load them. You can either Install A
Template from File or Install Templates from AMX.com.
6.
After you have clicked on your desired template, click OK.
7.
Your new project is now open to the G4 PanelBuilder Application Interface. A Start element is in place
within the Diagram area.
If a project is already open and you select open a new or existing project, you are
prompted by the Save As dialog. The previous project will remain on screen until you
are done setting up the new project.

Adding A Toolbox Element to The Diagram

Once you have a project file open you can add elements to the panel file.
1.
Select the element type within the Toolbox.
2.
Find the desired element, click-and-drag the element to the Diagram area.

3.
Now connect the Start element to the Navigation element. Click on the Exiting node (white) on the Start
element and drag it to the other element. All possible connections are indicated by a green outline. If the
connection cannot happen the outline is red. A connection line appears between the two elements.
