Using the Palette

The palette is place where you'll find gears to drag onto the workspace.

Showing/hiding the Palette

You can show or hide the palette by:

*

pressing the F9 key

*

using the palette button on the toolbar

*

using the view menu

Filtering the Palette View

As your collection of gears grows, you may find that one long list of gears becomes difficult to manage. The solution is to filter the palette view to show only the gears you want.

For example, if you're looking for an input gear use the drop-down menu labelled 'Connector In' and select 'None'. This will hide all gears that have an input connector and leave you with a list of gears that can get data for themselves.

Searching for Gears

You can also use keyword searching to filter the view. Simply type in a word that's associated with the type of gear you're looking for and press the Search button (or the Enter key).

Note: the palette will only display gears that match your connector type selections and your search terms. Set both the connector drop-downs to 'Any' to get the most matches in a search.

Gears On the Palette

If you find a gear you want to include in your machine, simply drag it across and drop it on the workspace. You can drop a gear on top of an existing gear in you machine. If the connectors match, the new gear will snap into place below the one you dropped it on.

You can access the help page for a gear before you add it to the machine. Either select the gear and press Shift-F1 or right-click on the gear and select 'Help' from the pop-up menu.
