Component Palette

Choose your palette

There are two styles of component palette in Ignition Vision: the tabbed palette and the collapsible palette. These palettes work in the same way, but the tabbed palette is meant to dock to the north or south edge of the workspace, and one collapsible palette is meant to dock to the east or west edge. By default, the tabbed palette is visible in the window workspace. To switch palettes, navigate to the View > Panels menu, and select either the Tabbed Palette or the Collapsible Palette.

Select the component in the palette, and then use the mouse to draw a rectangle in a container.

Draw a rectangle in the container to specify where the component should be placed and what size it should be.
