On Dash B:

- you have 4 charts;
- one any chart, there are 4 corners (representing pids);

- move cursor to one of those corners, rightclick, and select the pid you want to occupy this corner of the chart;
- repeat for the other 3 corners of the same chart;

- in the middle of the chart do rightclick->Chart Properties;
- click the Series tab;
- for Series 1, 2, 3, 4 set the colour, min, max, etc...
- click Save;
- click Ok to exit the chart properties;

- repeat this and this for the other charts;

- on the Dash toolbar (which contains the buttons A, B, C), click the Save button (the 3rd button from the left).

You can repeat the above on Dash A and Dash C...

but first you will have to add gauges and/or charts...

to do this, do rightclick->Add and select a gauge or chart from a mentioned theme;

then the first thing to do is on that new gauge/chart do rightclick->Chart/Gauge Properties and click Save As and give it a different filesname (i.e. so you don't overwrite the donor gauge/chart); then proceed as in post #11...

the difference with gauges is that there is only one pid per gauge (versus 4 pids per chart).

normaley just the save button and ok button ,unless the SAVE AS windows comes up

[joecar]

When you edit a chart or gauge in any manner, in its properties box click Save or Save As.

When you add, remove, or move a chart or gauge on a dash page, click the Save or Save As button on the dash toolbar (3rd or 4th button from the left on the toolbar containing the buttons A, B, C.
