Assist Menu

You can select the following items by right-clicking when running a command in Footprint Editor. For menu items with the same name, but whose operation varies, refer to items identified with "For xxx".

Apply

The Apply command applies the parameters that you specify. If applicable, the relevant process is executed using the specified parameters.

End Shape

Ends the current operation. The relevant command continues to run.

End Dimension

Ends the current operation. The relevant command continues to run.

End Reshape

Ends the current operation. The relevant command continues to run.

Execute

The relevant process is executed using the set parameters.

Another

After a section is specified, the section to edit is changed to the section on the other side. This option is available when an area fill or area is specified. If an arc is input, then the rotation direction of the arc is reversed.

Flip Horizontally

Flips the component about the Y-axis before placing it. The reference point is the axis.

Flip Vertically

Flips the component about the X-axis before placing it. The reference point is the axis.

Drag Reference Point (Vertex)

The drag reference point is changed to a vertex of the specified object. The vertex closest to the specified point becomes the reference point. In Snap mode, the specified point becomes the reference point.

Drag Reference Point (Point)

The drag reference point is changed to the specified object.

Drag Reference Point (Center)

The drag reference point is changed to the center of the specified object. In Snap mode, the specified point becomes the reference point.

Insert Arc

An arc is set as the shape to be input.

Center Point of Arc

The center point of a circle or an arc that can be extracted from a 3D model is displayed, and the specified point is assumed to be the drag reference point.

Finish (During data selection)

The data for the active operation is applied, if allowed, or a warning message is shown. The relevant command is terminated.

Apply

The specified parameters are applied. If applicable, the relevant process is executed using the set parameters.

Rotate 90

The object is rotated around the reference point by 90 degrees.

Cancel

The command is terminated without applying any changes that you make in the associated dialog.

Select Section

Selectable objects are limited to sections.

Section (Specify by Area)

Value Description
ON Lines and padstacks are deleted within the specified area.
OFF Selected objects are deleted.

Input Coordinates

The Input Coordinates Dialog is displayed.

Next

The current selection is canceled, and the next candidate is selected.

Execute

The process is executed using the specified parameters.

Rotate by Specified Angle (For Move/Duplicate/Paste from Clipboard)

The dragged object is rotated around the drag reference point. The rotation angle is the value for Angle of rotation, on the command dialog.

Rotate by Specified Angle (For Text)

The characters being input are rotated.

Placement Machine

The current placement machine can be changed. Select the name of a placement machine from the submenu.

Exit

Exits the command that is being run.

Parallel to Dimension

The dimension text is rotated to make it parallel to the dimension line.

Vertical to Dimension

The dimension text is rotated to make it vertical to the dimension line.

Selection End

When selecting multiple items using the Ctrl key, click Selection End on the context menu to indicate that you have selected the final item. Alternatively, double-click the final item.

Move to Other Layer

The Move To dialog is displayed, and allows you to select the destination layer.

Copy to Other Layer...

The Copy To dialog is displayed, and allows you to select the destination layer.

Relative Distance (2 Points)

Set the move distance by specifying two points. Set a vector as follows:

  • The first point specified on the canvas defines the start point.
  • The second point defines the end point.

Always Horizontal

Sets the angle for the dimension text attributes to horizontal.

Always Vertical

Sets the angle for the dimension text attributes to vertical.

Drag Reference Point

Changes the drag reference point when moving a 3D model.

Origin

Vertices

Bounding Box

Center Point of Polygon

Center Point of Arc

Origin

The local origin of the 3D model is assumed to be the drag reference point.

Vertices

The vertices of the 3D model are displayed, and the specified point is assumed to be the drag reference point.

Bounding Box

Points are displayed in the vertices and the center point of a bounding box that encloses a 3D model, and the center point of the surface that configures a bounding box. The specified point is assumed to be the drag reference point.

Center Point of Polygon

Points are displayed in the center point of a polygon that is extracted from the coordinates of the vertices of the 3D model. The specified point is assumed to be the drag reference point.

 Flip

For the reference point that is specified for a 3D model using the Align 3D Model command, this command flips the coordinate axis.

Rotate 270

The object is rotated around the reference point by 270 degrees.

Text mode

By Line

By Frame

Rotate 180

The object is rotated around the reference point by 180 degrees.

Another Section

The section to edit is changed to the section on the other side. This option is available when an area fill or area is specified.

Specify Center of Comp. Area

The origin is moved to the center of the component area.

Closed Line

To create a line for a closed object, a straight line is generated that connects the start and end points.

Switch Leader Dimension

Toggles between available and unavailable for dimension text.

Undo

Reverses the effects of the last operation that is executed.

Delete All Measures

All measures displayed on the canvas are deleted.

Delete Single Measure
