Figure 534: 3D Mark Dialog

Each time a marking operation is triggered (by clicking Start Mark or by an external trigger), all objects to be marked are sent to the scanner control card and marked.

Head: Only editable with the license MultiHead. Choose one or all of the available heads for the marking operation.

Start Pointer: Starts the red pointer. This button is active only if the red pointer is enabled. For the red pointer pen #255 is used (see chapter Mark Settings).

Start Mark: Starts the marking process. The first slice which will be marked is the number of the currently selected slice.

Stop: Stops the mark process.

Red Pointer: See chapter Red pointer.

Individual Outline: If checked each individual outline of the objects is drawn.

Total Outline: If checked the complete outline of all objects will be drawn by the red pointer, otherwise only the outline of one object will be drawn.

Individual Border: If checked, the red pointer draws the real geometry of the object.

Outermost Border: If checked, the red pointer draws the outermost individual borders of objects.

Red pointer Entities: If checked, only red pointer entity checked object(s) will be drawn. An object can be checked as red pointer entity in the entity list window.

note

Red Pointer cannot be used for sub-Entities when "mark selected" is active!

External Trigger: If checked the mark process can be started by an external trigger signal received by the optic device.

Repeat Mark: If checked, all slices (layers) will be marked one after another. If not checked only the currently selected slice will be marked.

Selected: If checked only the selected ScLayerSolid entities will be build.

Execution State:

Finished Layers: Shows all finished layers

Total Layers: Shows total layers

3D:

Until slice number: The marking will stop, if this slice number has been reached.

Time left: Shows estimated time until slice number is reached

Pause Build: The running build process will be paused after the current slice has been marked completely. If a slice post-process has been defined, it will be executed before pausing. If you click the button again during a paused build process, the next layer will be marked.

Advanced: The following dialog opens after clicking on the Advanced button.

Selecting Edit -> show selected Layer in the Menu bar shows the preview of which layer will be marked.
