The window of the Placement Position Editor is subdivided as follows:
-
Menu bar
-
Display area
-
Editing area
-
Command area
Menu Bar
The menu bar contains the menus "FILE", "EDIT", "SERVICES" and "HELP".
The "EDIT" menu is described in detail in section 8.1.6.1 and the "SERVICES" menu is described in section
8.1.6.2.
☞
NOTE
Since the functions and operation of the "FILE" and "HELP" menus are similar to those in other application
programs of the line computer, they are described comprehensively in chapter 2.
Editing area
(see section 8.1.6.3)
For each PCB type selected in the Structure Editor a placement program can be created in the editing area of
the Placement Position Editor window (see Fig. 8.1.11). Such a program contains the positions of the
components to be placed (with reference to the PCB zero point, see Fig. 8.1.3) as well as the fiducial sets that
may be required for component position recognition.
A completed placement program can also be adopted by another PCB type or modified, if required. Moreover,
it is possible to copy only those parts of a placement program that are required for a different PCB type.
Command area
(see section 8.1.6.4)
In this area the buttons "Check pl. pos." and "Search/Replace" are located. By means of these buttons the
entered placement position data can be reviewed, searched and replaced, if required.
