How to disable Electrodes and Workpieces
3. February 2023 | Tips & Tricks
Purpose
In some cases it may be necessary to exclude electrodes or workpieces from export or check. For example:
- an electrode is an auxiliary/construction model. This applies especially for parents of merge or mirror electrodes.
- individual positions should not appear in export. For example, gate electrodes or paths to start point often have to be programmed manually.
- outdated versions of workpieces can remain in assembly for documentation purposes without corrupting the data output.
Application
Disable
- open burnsheet
- select items to disable
- open context menu on right mouse button
- check the “Disable Component” check box
Enable
- open burnsheet
- select items to enable
- open context menu on right mouse button
