Some of my dashboards only have 3 panels

[67SS509]

Here recently when I open a frequently used dashboard only 3 panels with the quages at each end show up on the screen instead of the normal 4. Am I triggering this inadvertantly somehow and when it happens how do I return it to 4 panels? I've looked under Properties but don't see anything that fits.

You mean charts...?

Post a screenshot.

Check which dashboard file is being opened.

You can add charts (I usually have 5 or 6).

I guess charts is a better word. How do you increase or decrease?

Right click and select add chart, or new chart, I can't remember the exact wording.

Yes, what Paul said...

rightclick->Add->Chart->New Chart

then in each of the 4 corners do rightclick and select the pid you want in that corner.

Got the chart added but the font size is small for the PID's. Tried editing in properties but nothing works. Any tips on how to do it?

Select the number of digits you expect to be displayed and then check the "Auto size" check box to cause the font to automatically be the largest size able to display that number of digits.
The tricky part is that the font size selected when you click on the [Font] button is still the overriding maximum font size. So make sure you select something like 30 or 40 points for the font size.

Managing the layout in EFILive can be tricky, especially when the font size resets or scales down unexpectedly after adding new charts. Getting the text properties and sizing just right is essential for readability on vehicle dashboards.

When testing custom layout aesthetics or designing text elements for digital projects, experimenting with different typography styles using creative text generators can save a lot of time. Hopefully, checking the 'Auto size' option and adjusting the maximum font size in properties fixes the PID display for you!
