==Description==
The {{KEY|[[Image:Path_OpActive.svg|16px]] [[Path OpActive|Active]]}} tool in the [[Path Workbench]] is used to toggle the active state of an existing path operation.
The [[Image:CAM_OpActiveToggle.svg|24px]] [[CAM_OpActiveToggle|Active]] tool in the [[Image:Workbench_CAM.svg|24px]] [[CAM_Workbench|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 [[Path_Job|Job]] has at least one path operation the icon will be fully colored indicating it is available for use.

      • 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.
