Store the values used to define existing supports and apply them to new ones, or to modify others.
Some on-screen text has been changed, and the default sets cannot be changed anymore. Instead, you can now store your own sets.
All these tasks make use of the Edit tab in the context view of the support module.

To use a set during manual support creation
Simply keep the set selected in the context view, on the Edit tab, when placing new support entities, either by generating supports through the cluster's context menu, or by manually adding individual support entities.
TopTo apply a set to existing support
- Select the support entity you want to change.
- From the Manual defaults dropdown menu, select any of the available sets.
- Click the
set options button next to the dropdown menu, then choose
… → Selection, with … being the name of the set to apply.
To manage sets
Sets can be duplicated, exported in XML format, imported, and renamed by using the respective options in the
set options. We recommend to export your sets regularly as there is no confirmation whenever overwriting a set with values from a selection or an import.
Of course, you can also
delete any of your custom sets.
To create a new set
- Next to the
Manual defaults dropdown menu, click
New value set.
- Provide a name for the new set, then click OK.
- Select a support entity, such as a single bar support.
The set is now available for capturing the generation values of supports.
TopTo update an existing set
- Select the support entity you want to capture.
- From the Manual defaults dropdown menu, select the set to update.
- Click the
set options button next to the dropdown menu, then choose
Selection → …, with … being the name of the set to update.
