DCForum Discussion Forum - Add new controls

Hi folks ! Following problem: How can I add a control to a new or existing, original cab ?
If I take f.e. the acelabrake I see in the cab-editor-window all of the positions and not the brake lever alone. A new installation didn´t change anything.RD

>RD OK, you are on the right path - you have to remember that these are dynamic images. There can be 9 to 18 images which make up some of these controls. When you just add a control you see the whole bank of images. What needs to be done next is to tell the program how to assign the elements. In the properties screen where you select the graphic there is another selection for setting the number of elements in the picture. You open this option and it will show you the complete picture. There are spin boxes on the right to split the image into number of frames across and down - for example 3 x 3 = 9.You also set which frame represents which control setting in this dialog. -------SamSpade--------

Thanks for your advice, it works perfectly. Funny, but I couldn´t start to get the acela-brake. When I made it like you told, the first frame got a green rectangle around and was visible with this frame. But it couldn´t move. ´ll work on this problem tonight (european time).RD
