All you then need to do is move vectors to the appropriate layers and recalculate all the toolpaths.Ĭhoosing the Delete all toolpaths associated with missing layers option allows you to create a single template with many toolpaths and have the ones which aren't appropriate to the current job automatically deleted.The Clipart tab provides quick and convenient access to Vectric files containing 3D components or 2D vector artwork. It lists all the missing layers and offers you the choice of having them created automatically, deleting toolpaths associated with missing layers or just loading the toolpaths as is.Ĭhoosing to allow the dialog to automatically create the missing layers allows a toolpath template to be used to create 'standard' layers for machining operations and load the toolpaths ready to be calculated. If you load a toolpath template which has toolpaths associated with layers which don't exist in the current file, the Missing Layers for Template dialog will be displayed.
When the template is re-opened and the toolpaths recalculated, they will automatically select all vectors which match the filters specified with the Vector Selector for that toolpath. If toolpaths with the Vector Selection mode set to Automatic are saved as templates, these setting are saved with the template. The most common way to use the Vector Selector is to select all the vectors on a given layer as shown in the screenshot of the dialog below. The simplest option is just to use the form to Select Closed Vectors in the job or Select Open vectors (you can specify both, in which case all vectors will be selected as long as they are on a visible layer). Generally you will start at the top of the dialog and work downwards, specifying more and more explicit filters to determine the required selection exactly.
A filter is enabled by clicking on its check box, or selecting a 'radio button' option, the current selection will be updated with all the objects in the file which match the current filter options. The dialog is used to configure a set of 'filters' that determine which vectors will be selected. When the command is executed the dialog shown is displayed. The dialog can be accessed from the Edit ► Vector Selector menu item, or from the Selector.
This tool allows you to easily select vectors which meet a set of criteria, such as open, closed, circular and also matching constraints based on layers.
