You can create a gate from a Quadrant. The gate will be created as a polygon gate with the same coordinates as the quadrant. You can create a gate from the Upper Left, Upper Right, Lower Left, Lower Right, Upper (Upper Left plus Upper Right), Lower (Lower Left plus Lower Right), Left (Upper Left plus Lower Left), or Right (Upper Right plus Lower Right) quadrants.

 

To create a Gate from a Quadrant:

 

Right-click on the plot and select the Convert Quads To Gates item in the pop-up menu. Select the quad you wish to convert to a gate from the submenu. Select either Convert or Convert and Link.  If you choose Convert only, the gate will not update if you move or resize the quad, while Convert and Link will allow the gate to be updated as the quad is moved.

 

The links may be broken at any time, from either the Quadrant Formatting dialog or the Edit Gate dialog from the Gate View object.
