How to make a Cut Out in a Panel

#1 Post by dahabra »

Hello

New user of Air Manager 3.

I am purchasing the new Aerobask Phenom 300 and would like to "Pop Out" the G1000 screens and place them in a Panel on a separate Screen.

I am not a graphics designer and don't understand "Layers" and Transparent Layers".

Is there a step-by-step guide that I can follow to perform this task myself? Making a Cutout in a Panel to place the G1000 screens underneath it?

I am sure many others have beat me to this but I cant find their work in the "Community Panels" Is there another repository where Air Manager users share their own personal panels which are not "Professional grade work"

Ralph thanks for the reply. I started following that thread and posted already a follow upo question.

Is there no Youtube video you are aware of that takes a "none graphics" person like myself through the steps of using "Paint" or other programs to create the necessary "layers" for panels to make cut-outs etc.?

Hi,

Join the discord and I will show you how to do one in canvas_draw().
Make a time that suites both of us. From 17h00 UTC is best for me. I am +2 hours
You can ask questions and follow as I share my screen.
After an hour or so you will be a pro. :mrgreen:
