TP5 Dashboard Setup

Post by yoda69 »

I'm sure a few people on here have had the same problem as myself trying to layout a TP5 Dashboard and keeping track of the Top Left and Bottom Right Coordinates.
Have created a fairly simple Excel Spreadsheet, to hopefully make this task a little easier.

It is not super robust, and can easily be fooled and not work at all, but if you follow the simple instructions it should be fairly Straightforward.
Below is a Screenshot of the Output.

EDIT: Have Updated with ability to change Scaling from 5,10..., layout is basically for a widescreen.

Nice! :thumbup: Would have been handy when I was figuring out how the hell the numbers worked and what sizes work and don't work.

On a related topic, is there a way to transfer dashboard layout between ADX's? When I started using a different adx, I had to rebuild my dash, slowly and painfully.

i think the only way to do that would be to copy and paste between files .... but that is also frowned apon! but it would also rely on the two adx's having the same labels for everything to work properly.

Have updated in first post with the ability to change values in Red to alter scaling.
Note that for values less than 3-4 it can be hard to read, and all 20 Values need to be populated.
