CUSTOM PANEL Question

Hello clever people. I'm creating a new custom panel and I have added blank lines that I now want to get rid of. I see ADD NEW LINE but no REMOVE NEW LINE. Is it hidden somewhere or am I stuck with blank spaces? Thx

I think of you drag-select over the line (left mouse click and drag over your line), you'll see your lines in a greenish tint.
You can then select 'Cut' from the menu that appears.

Hi Sewie! I've tried that but theres nothing to select because its just a space. I have tried what you said but it only works if I've put something in the space. Hmm

Just hold your click on the extra space, then drop it > a panel will pop and you will have the choice between cut and copy. Choose cut :)

I can't seem to do it. I see the green box when I drag across but I can't get the cut/copy box up. :(

Drag from the right to the left, so the empty lines are enlighten in green.

I get two different options for deleting the separator line :

1.) right-click on the line and the options are Rename or Delete Separator .

2.) click and drag on the line (which highlights it in green) and options are Cut , Copy , Paste .

Yes, but for new lines, it's harder to right click on them, since you cannot see them ! :mrgreen:

Not at all! In six months you'll be teaching us, I predict. :)

Are you trying it by clicking/selecting the separator line with your Wacom pen or with a mouse ? If you're using the pen , maybe try using the mouse for greater precision in deleting a separator line in the custom panel.

Well, the learning curve is quite steep at first but after a few month's thing start clicking into place, you'll see.
Believe me, you'll be TVpainting like mad in no time! :D
