The panel preset bar manages panel presets. This control is added to the Custom Panel as an unlinked control because it is not linked to a parameter; it creates values as you change parameter settings.
On an activated Custom Panel, you can store, recall, rename, and delete panel presets. On the Custom Panel designer, you can edit it or change its properties.
A panel preset saves the current values and control parameters on a Custom Panel; when additional parameters are added or values are changed, the panel preset must be saved again to include them.
- Store panel preset: On the activated Custom Panel, change parameter settings as desired then click “Store” on panel preset bar.
On Store Panel Preset dialog, type preset name, and click “OK.”
The panel preset is added to the preset list.
If one of the values on a panel preset is changed, the button will turn green to alert you that you need to re-save the panel preset to include the changed value. Simply click the ‘Store’ button.
- Recall panel preset: Recall panel presets on the activated Custom Panel, either from the title bar or the panel preset bar.
- TITLE BAR: Right click title bar, select “Recall Preset,” then select the desired preset from the list.
- PANEL PRESET BAR: Select “Recall.” Select the panel preset from the list and click “OK.”
The panel preset settings are recalled.
- Rename panel preset: On the activated Custom Panel, select “Store” on panel preset bar. Select the item from the list that you wish to rename.
Type the new name next to “Preset Name” and click “OK.”
- Delete panel preset: On the activated Custom Panel, select “Delete.” Select the panel preset from the list and click “OK.”
