Layout
Note
This page shows PFC version 9.0 with the Objects panel. Versions 9.0 and 9.2 of FLAC and 3DEC have the i Project pane pane where the i Objects panel appears here.
The program’s user interface has three principal, fixed areas — the i Objects panel, the i Workspace, and the i Commands area. The title bar and the status bar at top and bottom of the program—shaded in the image below—complete the layout.
The Tools panel is a fixed element of the Workspace. It appears at right, and may be shuttered open and closed as needed.
