Hi there,

Been doing other things for way too long and at last I have the opportunity to reaquaint myself with SM. I've read through the tutorials and searched the forums but I gotta whole heap of questions to ask. I'll start off with just one though.

One of the tutorials describes how the panel that defines the display size of a module can be adjusted, but the granularity seems to be in grid squares. Is it possible to adjust the panel at pixel granularity?

Cheers guys.

BTW. I've been checking out on some of the sample schematics posted here and they have blown my mind wide open as to the capabilities of this beast. I've got a tinglin' in my loins. Is that normal? 😉

Hold down ctrl while moving with the arrow keys.

Hold down ctrl while moving with the arrow keys.

Can't get that to work. If I toggle the icon to edit the panel, highlight the border I wish to move with my mouse and then CTRL-arrow, the entire module moves in units of one square.

I've tried all sorts of combinations of Shift, Ctrl and Alt keys, using mouse and using the arrow keys, but no success.

I'm obviously missing a trick here. 🙁

Hi SyrupPudding,

I think AM was probably refering to moving items with a panel whereas it sounds like you're talking about the client area of the module. In this case there is no way at the moment of going sub-grid square I'm afraid.

Cheers Malc,

At least I now know not to carry on searching!

I never needed sub-grid gui sizing, could you tell us what exactly you need it for? Maybe there is a better solution for now for your problem!

As a learning task I was trying to create a module of the same look and size as a float component, but I couldn't quite achieve it because the float component (with its border) isn't an integer number of squares tall.

I figured there'd be some way of resizing it at pixel granularity, but I just hadn't found it. As it turns out there isn't, but it's no problem.

I promise, my next question will not be so inane 😇

Cheers guys for your help.
