Select Check Surfaces

This command allows graphical selection of check surfaces into the current work step's check surface table. When the command is selected, the check surfaces already selected are highlighted and all common discrimination options (color, layer, etc.) are applicable. Already selected (highlighted) surfaces can then be de-selected. New surfaces can be added by selecting them using the cursor and pressing the left mouse button. After hitting enter, the software assigns the selected surfaces to the check surface table.

To add Check Surfaces:

Option 1 (select surfaces individually):

Select the Select Check Surfaces command.
Move the cursor to the desired surfaces on the screen and click the left mouse button to select them.
Press the ENTER key to confirm the selection.

Option 2 (select multiple surfaces):

Select the Select Check Surfaces command.
Use the cursor to drag a frame around the desired surfaces on the screen. All surfaces that are completely encircled by this frame are selected for machining. This process can be repeated as multiple times.
