    Hello, I am new to this forum and also to this software. I was wondering how you can setup a dashboard of gauges and move them to the proper places. I can setup multiple gauges and place them where I want them with the move and set position howeber, I have to do 1 at a time and when I place the second one I can't see the first or when I move them the both move. I hope this makes sense to someone out there that can help as this is the only thing holding me back from completeing my dash. Thanks in advance for your responses.

    What I did was change my desktop background to a grid or graph to make the positioning easy.. http://charterschoolbrooklyn.org/files/ ... _paper.gif the one I used was more detailed but simular to this...as you know you have to start a single selected gauge and position them one at a time on the grid without the benifit of seeing the other gauges but this makes it much easier..RonK22

    Thank you for your quick response. I did just as you said and laid out my dash with a 800x600 background as that is what I will be using on the second PC (Laptop) used for my gauges and then used that as my background and placed the gauges one at a time. This worked perfect. Thank you for your quick response and excellent suggestion.
