This tool enables you to add a dynamic male waste component relative to the female profile of the currently selected stripper area/region, without an associated restriction.

Edit bar controls

Interactive

If this option is checked, then a preview of the dynamic stripping component 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.

DSC

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 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.

Orientation

Perpendicular or parallel; from the pulldown list select how the component should be placed relative to the female profile.

Inside For Outside

If the current stripper area/region is an external/outside area, and if male waste 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 male waste and use insides instead. This is useful if dealing with perimeter profiles containing areas that should be stripped as if they were internal.

Offset

This option allows you to explicitly override the Male waste component offset as defined in the system settings.

Flipped

If the default component is of Claw type, then check this option if you wish to place the left hand component, or leave it unchecked if you wish to place the right hand component.

Origin

Centre or end; if the Orientation mode is parallel, then from the pulldown list select whether you wish to place the centre point or the end point of the component at the click point.

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 components 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 component.

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 the Select  tool, without the need to explicitly start that tool.
