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). While the red pointer is outlining, scale and nudge can be done with the short keys listed below.
•Ctrl + arrow key: Nudge
•Ctrl + arrow key: 5 * Nudge
•Alt + up/down arrow key: Scale
•Shift + Alt+ up/down arrow key: 5 * Scale
|
Nudge Step and Scale Factor can be defined within Settings → System → View. The StopKey in Settings → System → Short Keys should be set to ESC/Space. |

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

Auto Pointer: If enabled, the red pointer starts automatically after each marking showing the red pointer shape of the next marking sequence. SwitchOffDuringMark: If enabled, the red pointer is switched off during mark. Delay: Value determines delay of the red pointer. This value will overwrite the delay values (jump, mark and poly delay) in pen 255 (red pointer pen). Speed: Value determines speed of the red pointer. This value will overwrite the speed values (mark and jump speed) in pen 255 (red pointer pen). Defocus: This activates a focus shift on the Z-Axis. In case 'char based splitting' : If enabled, the height of the whole string is taken for outlining with the Red Pointer. See example in Fig.320:
Figure 320: Green for flag disabled, blue for flag activated. Execute first motion in job or in selected job items before normal red pointer: If enabled, the first ScMotionControl entity of the job will be executed when the Red Pointer start button is pressed. |

Split Red Pointer repetitions: Can be checked only if entity is a split entity. You can set for first, middle and last split parts in between a red pointer repetition count. If unchecked (default), the red pointer runs endless on first split part. If the entity is not a split entity, this option is deactivated. This settings are necessary for the correct Red pointer function int he splitting mode.
