Description

The Path OpActiveToggle.svg Active tool in the Workbench Path.svg Path 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 Path Job.svg 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 Path OpActiveToggle.svg Path OpActiveToggle button.
    • Select the Path → Path OpActiveToggle.svg 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: Path OpActiveToggle.svg.
      • The operation icon and label are grayed out.
      • The paths generated from the operation disappear from the 3D view.
      • When using the Path Inspect.svg Path Inspect command or the Path Post.svg Path 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 Path Inspect.svg Path Inspect command or the Path Post.svg Path Post command, the operation's G-code is provided.
