Edit an Icon on the Icon Panel

You can edit an icon from the Icon Panel Generator panel. Editing enables you to update the original icon or create a new copy of the icon.

Updating an icon from the Icon Panel Generator panel updates the icon definition in the knowledge base and the selected icon only. If there are other icons in the panel definition that use the same icon definition, these other icons are not updated as long as you remain in the panel definition. You can, therefore, have several versions of the same icon in the panel definition. When you generate the icon panel, the panel reflects these different versions of the icon (even though there is only one version of the icon definition).

Note: Although a generated icon panel can retain different versions of the same icon, the icon panel definition cannot. The next time you access the panel definition, the definition reflects the latest version of the icon.

To edit an icon on the icon panel

1. Position the cursor in the icon you want to edit.
2. Press F8 (EditIcon).

   The Icon Editor panel appears.

3. Edit the icon, as required.

   Note: If you want to create a new copy of the icon, change the value in the Name field.

4. Press F3 (File).

   The updated definition is saved and the Icon Panel Generator panel appears.
