Creating Pins

  To add a pin image and set it to a traffic lighting range:

1. Click a Pin from Pinboard Designer Select Pin Images.

   The Select Pin Images dialog box is displayed.

2. Click Add.

   The Pin Designer dialog box is displayed.

3. In Pin Image, click Load.

   The Open dialog is displayed.

4. Navigate to a GIF or JPEG file to use as the pin image. Select the file name, and click OK.

   The selected image is displayed in the Pin Designer panel.

   Before a pin can be added to the selection list, the "point of the pin" and its active color must be defined. This is accomplished using the Pin Designer shortcut menu:

5. Optional: To set the point of the pin, right-click the pin image where you think the point should be, and select Hotspot.

   The grid to the left demonstrates how the pin is positioned relative to this point.

6. Optional: To set the Active Color, right-click a prominent color in the pin image, and select Active Color.

   The Active Color panel reflects this selection. You should only elect an Active color when you are going to use one pin image for every traffic lighting range. This enables the selected color to adopt the color of the traffic lighting range.

7. Click OK.

   The pin is displayed in the Select Pin Images dialog box.

8. Select the pin from the list and click OK.

   The pin is displayed next to the traffic light range it represents.
