Inserting a Button
With the TD 100C and the TD 200C, you can add a button to the keypad grid. The TD400C
does not have this option.
1. Click the Draw Button icon.
2. Move the cursor over the grid.
3. Move the cursor (and button) into position on the keypad grid.
4. Hold down the left mouse button and drag the cursor to adjust the size and shape of the
button.
5. Release the mouse button to insert the button onto the keypad
After you have inserted the button onto the keypad grid, you can relocate the button by
dragging it to a new location on the grid. However, you cannot resize the button.

Modifying the Shape of a Button
With the TD 100C and the TD 200C you can modify the shape of a button. The Keypad
Designer provides two methods for modifying the shape of a button. The TD400C does not
have this option.
● Changing the size or shape of a button by adding a second button on top of the first
button
● Erasing a portion of the button
Extending the Shape of a Button
You cannot resize a button that has been inserted onto the keypad grid. However, with the
TD 100C and the TD 200C, you can insert a second button on top of the first button to create
a new size for the button. The TD400C does not have this option.
As shown in the figure below, adding a second button also allows you to create buttons of
non-rectangular shape (combining the shapes of both buttons).
When you insert the second button, ensure that the cursor is within the boundaries of the
first button.
