Hi!

If I want to add a display to the panel I have to do it twice before it coming on the panel?

Hi Jorgen.
Can you give an example of what display on what panel, please?
The GLCD and LCD displays are 2D only so will not be able to go on the 3D system panel

Hi Martin!

If I started a new project, ect. with an Uno and I add a LCD I2C or an Ili9488 to the 2D first time it is not wisible on the 2D then I add again I now See the display. When I then want to use the display and add the component macro I can choose between the first and second display, so there migth be two display on the panel, But only one is wisible?

Install on two labtop now, same behavior and I noticed after Install my Avira pop up and tell me lidt have detected some vira and I need to reboot it Will remove something, unfortunaly I did`n notice Exactly what it was, something with FC10 .exe After reboot It Seem to work, maybe usefull for you and other

No complain or mess, I only want to test and inform you what I discover

Hope you understand my explanation

Hi Jorgen.
It sounds like you are sending the component to a closed panel.
The easiest way to deal with the 2D panels, (especially if you have multiple panels) is to Select the Panels icon within Project Explorer.

Just double-click (Or single-click and select show) the panel icon if it shows a red exclamation mark, as that means it's hidden.
Alternatively, Select View > 2D panels and make sure there is a tick, (click it to toggle) next to each panel name you want open.
If you do have multiple panels, then when you right-click on the component (from the component libraries or search filter you get to choose which panel to send it to.
Just make sure that panel is open.

I have a number of questions that should help me discover what the problem is:

1) How are you adding the component to the panel? Dragging from the toolbar, or right-clicking the toolbar and selecting "add to panel"? Does it make a difference which method you use?

2) After you have first added the component to the panel, does resizing the panel make the component show? If so, it could be the component is correctly added to the panel, but the panel needs to be refreshed.

3) Are there any other things that make the first component appear (without adding the second one)? For example, changing any of the component properties, hiding and reshowing the panel, running simulation?

4) Do you experience the same issue with all components or only some? For example, the "Text" component under the "Creation" menu?

This is likely to be a false-positive. But if you do have any more details, please post them here. It could be that there is a file in the installation we have not signed. Or it could be that we need to contact Avira so they can "white list" Flowcode v10.

Hi Steve and Martin!

Thank you, I tryed Martin´s suggest, it work..

@ Steve concerning the Avira hopefully it not doing something to FC10 after restart. I will continue test and if i see som strange you hear, suppose you want

Hi

Following on from Jorgen I've seen a quirk or two.

When FC starts it shows a 2D Panel.

Sometimes, not always, if I click on say Generic 16x2 Display it appears in the 2D Panel, sometimes nothing appears at all. If however nothing has appeared and I then go to Project Explorer and click components I see that a "Legacy 2D Panel" has been added, but not yet visible, with the component there. If I then add the component again it appears in the original 2D Panel.

If I don't notice I'm adding a 3D component (too busy drooling over the new features) it doesn't appear in the original 2D panel, which isn't that surprising but when I look at Project Explorer I see it's not added to a 3D Panel but to the Legacy 2D.

It seems to happen more often if I've open and closed FC a few times prior.

Regards

Thanks @chipfryer27.

It looks like there is an issue where double-clicking a 3d component on the toolbar may add it to the legacy 2d panel rather than the 3d panel. I will investigate. If you want to ensure the component is added to the correct panel, then either drag it off the toolbar onto the appropriate panel or right-click on the panel and select "add to panel...".

The legacy 2d panel remains 'hidden' for most users and is only included so that older v9 (and earlier) projects that use it can be loaded. The new 2d panel(s) should be used for new v10 projects.
