Description

The Active tool in the CAM Workbench is used to toggle the active state of an existing path operation. This tool is not available, indicated as a light gray version of the icon, until you have created one or more path operations. Once your Job has at least one path operation the icon will be fully colored indicating it is available for use.

Usage

  1. Select an operation in the Operations group belonging to a Job. A deactivated operation can be recognized by its grayed out label and icon.
  2. There are several ways to invoke the command:
    • Press the CAM OpActiveToggle button.
    • Select the CAM → Toggle the Active State of the Operation option from the menu.
    • Use the keyboard shortcut: P then X.
  3. The result depends on the selected operation:
    • If you have selected an active operation the command deactivates it:
      • The operation icon is replaced with the command icon: .
      • The operation icon and label are grayed out.
      • The paths generated from the operation disappear from the 3D view.
      • When using the CAM Inspect command or the CAM Post command, the operation's G-code is not provided.
    • If you have selected a deactivated operation the command activates it:
      • The operation icon is replaced with that belonging to the operation.
      • The operation icon and label are no longer grayed out.
      • The paths generated from the operation are recomputed and displayed in the 3D view.
      • When using the CAM Inspect command or the CAM Post command, the operation's G-code is provided.
