This page describes how the various Edit > Box Ramp tools operate.
Edit > Box Ramp > S
Edit > Box Ramp > M
Edit > Box Ramp > L
Edit > Box Ramp > H
Edit > Box Ramp > S 
This tool enables you to add a restriction of Box Ramp S type to the female profile of the currently selected stripper area/region, provided this tool is marked as available in the current System Settings.
Edit bar controls
Interactive 
If this option is checked, then a preview of the restriction and any dynamic stripping component placed relative to it is shown at the cursor as you move the mouse around the drawing before you click.
The option should be unchecked if you experience any performance issues, particularly on low specification machines.
Material 
If the current system settings define different Materials, then from the pulldown list select the material required; Impact will automatically attempt to select the correct material for you if the material variables for the layer are set.
Place DSC 
If this option is checked, then a dynamic stripping component is placed relative to the restriction.
DSC 
If the Place DSC option has been checked, then from the pulldown list select the dynamic stripping component setting if you wish to override the default as defined in the current system settings.
Component 
If the Place DSC option has been checked, and there is more than one component in the dynamic stripping component’s male component library, then from the pulldown list select the default component that should be used by the dynamic component setting if you wish to override the default as defined in the library.
Nick 
Switch this option on to access the drop down list of available symbols (as defined in Options > Database Operation > Symbols > Nick Symbol Group). This allows you to select a different nick symbol for the restriction.
Inside For Outside 
If the current stripper area/region is an external/outside area, and if the restriction has different default settings for insides and outsides in the System settings, then check this option to temporarily override the use of outside settings for this restriction and use insides instead. This is useful if dealing with perimeter profiles containing areas that should be stripped as if they were internal.
Depth 
This option allows you to explicitly override the depth of the restriction as defined in the system settings.
Auto Infer 
If this option is checked, then the tool will check for the same configuration of entities and blocks as the picked entity in other parts of the stripper area/region, and automatically place restrictions here too.
These inferences will be linked so that editing one later will affect all of the inferences.
System Settings 
You can make a temporary override to the System settings currently being used by the Stripper Creator by changing the values shown in the Stripper System Settings form.
Area 
You can make a temporary override to the area helper settings currently being used by the Stripper Creator by changing the values shown in the Area Helper form. A defined area can then be displayed on the cursor to help gauge the size of any restrictions added.
Angled 
If this option is checked, any editing of a selected component using the drag handles will allow changes to the angle of the component. Otherwise, the angle of the component remains fixed.
How to use the tool
Pick a point on the profile of the selected stripper area/region to add a new restriction.
Existing components and restrictions within a selected region will be marked with drag handles of different shapes. These can be edited in the same way as with the Select 
tool, without the need to explicitly start that tool.
Edit > Box Ramp > M 
This tool enables you to add a restriction of Box Ramp M type to the female profile of the currently selected stripper area/region, provided this tool is marked as available in the current System Settings.
