We've just released another update. The biggest change is the GUI editing feature. This allows you to edit the front panel of any module directly. Just click on the padlock button on the action panel of a selected module and you can click and drag any GUI elements around.
We'll get some documentation up as soon as possible but I'll give you a quick run through here so you know how it all works. Basically you can now move GUI elements around in the front panel. You can use the mouse for coarse adjustments (snapped to grid) or you can use the cursor keys, holding CTRL (edit - I said SHIFT before, but it's CTRL!) for single pixel shifting. The offset from the module origin is shown above or below the selected element and you can switch the units between grid squares and pixels.
You can make multiple selections by selection rectangle or SHIFT select. If you double-click on a GUI element the software will jump straight to the module which represents it.
To enable something as a GUI element, all you need is an MGUI. If a module has an MGUI then it can be dragged around in any parent module in which it is being drawn.
If you need to see how this all works take a look at the new example schematic. This uses the new system throughout.
Of course you can still specify positions by typing in the exact coordinates. The MGUI has two inputs for doing this if you don't want to drag things around. You can also still use translates. Units are still grid squares but we have four conversion components in the toolbox for converting between the two coordinate systems.
If you need any more help please let us know.
