New Panel Library

Panel Library

The drawing of the panel library is relatively free, without specific design rules constraints. You can draw any size of any layer element at any position, providing the same drawing tools as the panel. The panel library cannot be directly exported for production, but it can be placed on the panel canvas. After placement, the panel library is not maintained as a whole, which is convenient for further adjustment.
