Rubber Panel

Will create rubber blocks for an internal shape (i.e. on the inside of a panel on a one-up) and optionally apply a Crease Mask.

TIP: The functionality of this tool is similar to the Hole Finder tool.

The Edit Bar controls will display the following options when the tool starts:

Rubber Find Panel - The current tool.

Accept - Will accept the displayed region and create the rubber.

Mask creases - Enabling this option will mask away rubber for crease lines. If not enabled, rubber will be placed on crease lines as well. For information and settings for Crease Masking, see the Master Tool Settings for Automatic Rubber.

Show Dialog - By default, adding Panel rubber will do so according to the current Master Tool Setting for Automatic Rubber. These settings can be overridden with the Show Dialog option. If enabled, after the Accept, the Rubber Attributes Form is displayed for override values before creation.

Replicate - Enabling this option will replicate changes, in this case new rubber blocks, on other inserted one-ups with the same one_up name as the one where the change takes place (a.k.a. Multi-up replicate) and on areas of the same configuration of entities and blocks as the area selected. The Replicate option is modal, i.e other Rubber Edit tools will have the replication option set as it was used last time by any tool in this group.

Rubber holes - Enabling this option will not only rubber around internal holes in the selected panel but also add rubber inside the internal hole.

To use: To identify the panel, pick a point inside the panel, the entities surrounding the picked panel are highlighted. If the area detected is only part of the area you wish to add rubber to, you can hold the Shift key down while picking additional areas - these will be added to the area. Similarly holding Ctrl down will remove picked areas. Once the panel has been identified press the Accept button.

NOTE: This tool makes use of the general functions of the Hole Finder tool and thus allows for adding and removing areas with the Shift and Ctrl keys. This is not the intended use for the Rubber Panel tool and the result will be somewhat unpredictable. In cases like this, use the Rubber Hole tool instead.
