Path Workbench

Description

The Active tool in the 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 Job has at least one path operation the icon will be fully colored indicating it is available for use.


Usage

Deactivate an active operation

  1. Select an operation in the "Operations" group within a Job.
  2. Click on the Active toggle icon.
  3. When you deactivate an operation, you will notice:
    • The operation title and the icon preceding it will turn light gray.
    • The icon in front of the operation's label will be replaced with that of the OpActive's icon.
    • The paths generated from the operation will disappear from the viewport.
    • When using the Inspect G-code tool or Post Process command, no g-code will be provided from the deactivated operation.

Activate a deactivated operation

  1. Select a deactivated operation (light gray text and icon) in the "Operations" group within a Job.
