To ensure your XPanel software never becomes obsolete we have given you the ability to add your own equipment and panel templates. By extending this power to the user you are assured you will never be waiting/hoping that XPanel will add the equipment or panel you need.
Panel Templates are the images shown as the background on which you add your equipment. These images may be .gif or .jpg format. XPanel 5000 creates its panel templates use Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop.
To take advantage of XPanel's Panel Coloring features you should draw you template with a white background and black lines. When using photographs as templates the Panel Color feature will not be available. As with adding equipment images, make sure your panel image has NO extra spacing around the panel.
TIP: All panel images should be build to accommodate 1:25 scale. This equates to 18 Pixels per 1" of actual size at a resolution of 72 pixels per inch.
