The panel style displays in edit mode if it is a user created panel style or in view mode if it was shipped with the software.

Panel Information Section

Displays the name of the current panel style, the units which the software uses to match the drawing's units, and the M.U.T.C.D. Edition.

Border Radius Section

• To have the border radius calculated, click Calc, and then type the factor to use in calculations, the increment to round the calculated value up to, and a maximum value.
• To set the border radius to a fixed value, click Fix, and then type the value for the radius.

Border Thickness Section

• To have the border thickness calculated, click Calc, and then type the factor to use in calculations, the increment to round the calculated value up to, and a maximum value.
• To set the border thickness to a fixed value, click Fix, and then type the value for the thickness.

Border Inset From Panel Edge Section

• To have the border inset calculated, click Calc, and then type the value as a number to be multiplied by the border thickness.
• To set the border inset to a fixed value, click Fix, and then type the value for the border thickness.

Divider Thickness Section

Allows you to set the thickness of any divider lines in the panel (see Place New Panel). These lines are used to subdivide a sign panel into sub-panels. This value will be ignored for signs that do not have divider lines. A realistic value should be entered in case the style is later used to create a sign with divider lines. A typical value for calculation would be between 0.5 and 1.0.

• To have the divider thickness calculated, click Calc, and then type the value as a number to be multiplied by the border thickness.
• To set the divider thickness to a fixed value, click Fix, and then type the value for the divider thickness.

Divider Corner Radius Section

The inner border radius is defined as the result of subtracting the border thickness from the border radius.

• To have the divider corner radius calculated, click Calc, and then type the value as a number to be multiplied by the inner border radius.
• To set the divider corner radius to a fixed value, click Fix, and then type the value for the divider corner radius.

Information

Allows you to add a description for the panel style (i.e. suggested use, the reference source, and the sizes and fonts (letter series) for the major text).
