Edit > Male Waste Components > Free 
This tool enables you to add a dynamic male waste component within the currently selected stripper area/region.
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.
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.
Angle 
This option allows you to specify the rotation angle of the component being placed.
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; from the pulldown list select whether you wish to place the centre point or the end point of the component at the click point.
Override Settings 
If this option is checked, then the component may be placed anywhere in the drawing without constraint. Otherwise, the tool will attempt to force the component to remain within the confines of the male waste area, using the offset distance defined in the system settings or male waste settings.
Offset 
If the Override Settings option is unchecked, then this allows you to explicitly override the offset distance. If the currently selected stripper area/region has male waste settings defined upon it, then from the pulldown list select from Minimum, Slot or Standard as the offset distance you wish to use; otherwise, this allows you to explicitly override the Male waste component offset as defined in the system settings.
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 components 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 within 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.
Edit > Male Waste Components > Male Knives > Add 
This tool enables you to add a male knife to the currently selected stripper area/region, if it has had male waste settings applied that define such components.
Edit bar controls

Angle 
This option allows you to specify the rotation angle of the component being placed.
Origin 
Centre or end; from the pulldown list select whether you wish to place the centre point or the end point of the component at the click point.
Override Settings 
If this option is checked, then the component may be placed anywhere in the drawing without constraint. Otherwise, the tool will attempt to force the component to remain within the confines of the male waste area, using the offset distance defined in the male waste settings.
Offset 
If the Override Settings option is unchecked, then this allows you to explicitly override the offset distance. From the pulldown list select from Minimum, Slot or Standard as the offset distance you wish to use.
How to use the tool

Edit > Male Waste Components > Male Knives > Add Line 
This tool enables you to add a line of male knives to the currently selected stripper area/region, if it has had male waste settings applied that define such components. The line of knives are added following the male waste settings for spacing and choice of component length.
