Surface
The Surface is where objects are arranged to create a custom control screen. Individual controls
may be placed from the Control Bar
. Grouped sets of controls, representing typical multi-function
system components, may be placed from the Object Bar
. The controls can then be customized
and assigned to specific component functions within the system design, using the Property
Sheet. Customized or often-used controls can be copied to the Control Library for future
placement into the Surface. However, component objects may instead be copied directly from the
system design file into the Surface, where they will appear as appropriately grouped and
assigned controls.
