The Push Button is a powerful new feature in Xcelsius SP3 that allows developers to transfer source data from an arbitrary sized cell block to a destination cell block of the same size. This gives us a triggering type mechanism where we needed to jump through hoops in order to accomplish before.

I’ve attached a video and the example xlf source file which shows how to use the push button as a default/reset button.

If you have any additional examples that you would like to share, please post them on the comments section below.

In this article I’ve attached a video that talks about the new Canvas Container feature in Xcelsius 2008 SP3.
I found that the Canvas container is very easy to use and provides the same functionality as the group method but allows the flexibility of moving objects in and out of the canvas very easily.

I totally recommend that Xcelsius developers use the Canvas container method to group objects instead of the old grouping method.

I am curious of the canvas container performance and if it is buggy as I have not experienced any problems yet, so please feel free to comment with your experiences.
