Select All Displayed Segments |

|
Select All Unmachined Segments |
Select all the unmachined segments from those highlighted when a main row in the table is selected. |

When exiting the table, the selected (activated) cutter and the selected segments are used by the procedures. |
The following 'rules' apply when invoking the Remachine Segments from a procedure:
The cutter and segments are inherited from a previous selection; when the Remachine Segments function is invoked prior to running the Guided Cleanup or Multi Axes Guided Cleanup procedures.
Editing cutters or segments is not possible when the table is open for selection from a procedure.
When a main row in the Remachine Segments Table is selected, this highlights all the segments, relevant to that row, to be milled by the Guided Cleanup or Multi Axes Guided Cleanup procedure. You can then select and unselect these segments by choosing the appropriate screen parameter (described above).
