Alternative Symbols

Edit > Alternative Symbols

This tool enables you to change the symbols that are being used to represent particular components within the active marquee (via the Marquee  tool) to an alternative.

If a stripper area/region lies only partially inside the active marquee, then all the components in the stripper area/region, even if they lie outside the active marquee, are considered.

This tool is particularly useful when you wish to use components of the same type and size, but with different heights, in different parts of the stripper design.

Edit bar controls

Symbol Mode

From the pulldown list select the alternative symbol name required; <Default> will change all the components to use their default symbols, and is always available. Alternatives are only listed if all the components being changed have an alternative of that name available.

Accept

Press this button to accept the alternative name and change all the components to use the matching alternative symbol.

How to use the tool

Having selected a marquee using the Marquee  tool, activate this tool and select the alternative symbol name from the Symbol Mode  dropdown. Press the Accept  button to change all the components within the marquee to use this alternative symbol name.
