8.6.2 Creating Your Own Parts

You can use the [Parts Toolbox] ON/OFF options to view Switches, Lamps, and Key parts in [State 0] (OFF) and [State 1] (ON).

To select the registered image for the part, open the Parts dialog box and click [Select Shape]. In the [Shape Browser] dialog box, select the registered part image from [Select Shape]. Select the appropriate image and click [OK].

If you click [Create] while a previously registered part is selected, you can edit that part image. To create a new image, click [Create] while no previously registered part is selected.

Image parts can be registered with a maximum size of 160 x 160 pixels.

Parts which use registered images can cause large project file sizes. In the [Color] settings, select the [Compress] check box to manage the project size.

You can register up to 200 image parts in a single parts palette file.

Image parts that have been enlarged or reduced may display differently on the display unit and in GP-Pro-EX.

When the registered image size is different depending on the state, the larger image will remain the same, and the smaller image will be enlarged.

You cannot register or delete a previously-prepared PDX file.

The types of image file that can be registered to a part are BMP, JPEG, DPD, and PNG.
