The great Les O’Reilly came down to Buffalo some time ago and introduced me to the power of using Dashboard as a GUI to trigger my Xpression animations. As i begin to develop this, is there any documentation that will help me use dashboard and Xpression to their utmost potential? Thanks all
Hi Bryan,
We are still working on the full documentation for this feature.
The first piece of important advice I would give is to make sure when you create a new CustomPanel in DashBoard that you use the ‘Blank XPression CustomPanel’ template. This is part of the creation of a new custom panel so the steps would be:
1: File->New->New CustomPanel File
2: A window opens asking you for the file location and file name, it also has the template to use, make sure that you pick the ‘Blank XPression Custom Panel’ option.
There is preliminary documentation that you can download at:
http://www.rossvideo.com/software/dashboard/Beta/DashBoard_Release_Notes%206%202013_02_13%20T17_40_XPression.pdf. It is a little out of date now but it has the basics in it for you.

Troy, this will be a huge help. Thank you for this and I’ll keep an eye out for the full documentation.
Hi Bryan,
The XPression documentation I referenced was a little out of date. I’ve updated it and posted a new version which you should get.
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to send me a note or post your questions here.
Troy.
