[CL] <6> (Close)
Click it then the function of manual is finished.
Rotate a wheel of mouse in the area of board edit then the picture is scaled up or down on the center of mouse position.
Move a mouse cursor onto the component then a red chain line along the outline appears.
In such case the reference of the selected component is shown in the area of reference view. If the component has its No.1 mark or ‘+’ mark, a red chain line appears on the mark at the same time. When the cursor is onto the No.1 mark, ‘+’ mark or comment (“graphic comment”), a red chain line appears only on such mark or comment.
When the cursor is onto the component, the design of cursor is changed as follows.
Move the cursor with left clicking at normal case (No.1 of the following figure) then the whole picture of the board is moved same as the mouse’s motion.
1 2 3 4 5 6
In case the design of the cursor is No.3, 4, 5 or 6 (of the above figure), the external form of rectangle can be modified. Move the cursor with left clicking and stop clicking then the revision is done.
In case of No.2 a shape of circle can be modified. Move a cursor with left-clicking and stop left-clicking then the circle size is revised.
Left click when the chain line appears then the relevant component in the list of process edit is selected.
Right click when the cursor is onto the chain line along the outline (surrounded area) of component then a menu appears in the area of board edit.
The menu has the following items (function).
‘’Deform into Circle” or “Deform into Rectangle”
In case the figure of the outline is angle, the display of menu is “Deform into Circle”. In case of circle, it is “Deform into Rectangle”. Execute it then a circle changes to an angle or an angle changes to a circle.
“Create Mark '+'”, “Delete Mark '+'” or “Move Mark '+'”
In case a cursor is onto the component with no ‘+’ mark the function is “Create Mark '+'”, in case with ‘+’ mark, it is “Delete Mark '+'” and in case the cursor is onto the ‘+’ mark it is “Move Mark '+'”.
Left-click then,
When “Create Mark '+'”, ‘+’ mark is shown near the cursor and moved along the cursor motion.
Rotating the wheel of mouse makes character ‘+’ scaled up or down.
Then left clicking makes the execution settled and ‘+’ fitted on the cursor position. Abort with right clicking.
When “Delete Mark '+'”, ‘x’ mark is deleted.
When “Move Mark '+'”, ‘+’ is moved together with the cursor motion and rotating a mouse wheel makes the character scaled up or down. Then left clicking makes the execution settled and fitted on the cursor position.
Abort with right clicking. (It can also be reflected to the same component by setting.)
"Create Mark of No.1 pin", "Delete Mark of No.1 pin" or "Move Mark of No.1 pin"
In case a cursor is onto the component with no ‘+’ mark the function is “Create Mark of No.1 pin”, in case with No.1 mark, it is “Delete Mark of No.1 pin” and in case the cursor is onto the No.1 mark it is “Move Mark of No.1 pin”.
Left-click then;
When “Create Mark of No.1 pin”, ‘1’ mark is shown near the cursor and moved along the cursor motion. Rotating the wheel of mouse makes character ‘1’ scaled up or down. Then left-clicking makes the execution settled and ‘1’ fitted on the cursor position. Abort with right clicking.
When “Delete Mark of No.1 pin”, ‘1’ mark is deleted.
When “Move Mark of No.1 pin”, ‘1’ is moved together with the cursor motion and rotating a mouse wheel makes the character ‘1’ scaled up or down. Then left-clicking makes the execution settled and ‘1’ fitted on the cursor position. Abort with right-clicking. (It can also be reflected to the same component by setting.)
"Input Comment", "Delete Comment" or "Move Comment"
In case a cursor is onto the component with no “graphic comment” the function is “Input Comment”, in case with “graphic comment”, it is “Delete Comment” and in case the cursor is onto “graphic comment” it is “Move Comment”.
Left-click then;
When “Input Comment”, input character in a frame for inputting character shown. ("," and "|" are prohibited.) Then clicking [Draw] makes the inputted character displayed near the cursor which can be moved together with the cursor motion. Rotating the wheel of mouse makes the character scaled up or down. Then left-clicking makes the execution settled and the character fitted on the cursor position. Abort with right-clicking.
When “Delete Comment”, the graphic comment is deleted.
When “Move Comment”, the graphic comment is moved together with the cursor motion and rotating a mouse wheel makes it scaled up or down. Then left-clicking makes the execution settled and it fitted on the cursor position. Abort with right-clicking.

Set the format of components list with a wizard. It is set semi-automatically.
The step of the wizard is as follows;
1. Display the sentence of explanation.
2. Select and import the file of components list. This application searches the optimal setting value. If the components list has already been inputted in mentioned in Chapter 3, such data is used then no need to select a file here.
3. Set a starting row from the red column. (In case of Excel file with multiple sheets, it is set to the same number of row in all sheets.)
4. Confirm the column delimiter. (There is not this setting in case of Excel file imported.)
5. Set the column of the component name.
6. Set the column of the reference name. Multiple rows can be selected. If a mistake of selection happens, click the incorrect column again then its column becomes unselected.
7. Set a reference delimiter. No need to set in case of one reference name in one row. In case that the reference is ‘R1,R2,R8’ for example, “,” should be the setting value then three references (R1, R2 and R8) are extracted to. To check whether reference is extracted correctly, select the row then confirm the left list where one reference is assigned to one row.
8. Set a consecutive symbol of reference. No need to set in case of no omission. In case that the reference is ‘R1-8’ for example, “-” should be the setting value then five references (R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5) are extracted to. To check whether reference is extracted correctly, select the row then confirm the left list where one reference is assigned to one row.
9. Set the process category sign. The sign (symbol) is assigned to each mounting process of component at editing process in Excel, etc. ahead of time.
The initial setting is as follows;
“M1” = mounter 1, “M2” = mounter 2, “NT” = post-mounting, “NM” = non-mounting, “SC” = subcontract, “OT” = others.
Normally there is not this sign in the component list but it could surely be convenient function.
If this column is unnecessary, click [NoneNext->].
10. Save the setting value with named. Specifying folder and file extension are added automatically.
(Note 1) The above three symbols should be different each other.
(Note 2) Even in case of tiling (multiple) mounting, set the reference name such as R1_PCB1 which should be same as the one of coordinate data. (The symbol “_” here is an example but it should be different from the above three symbol.) When the reference is such as “R1_PCB1-R5_PCB1”, it can be extracted to “R1_PCB1”, “R2_PCB1”, “R3_PCB1”, “R4_PCB1” and “R5_PCB1”.
