Menu bar
The menu bar contains the "FILE", "SERVICES" and "HELP" menus.
The functions of the "Open..." and "Copy PCB" menu options of the "FILE" menu are explained in more detail
in section 8.1.3.1. A complete description of the "SERVICES" menu is contained in section 8.1.3.2.
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 chapt. 2.
Editing field
In the editing field below the menu bar it is possible to enter a comment. Max. 65 characters may be entered.
(No inverted commas or quotation marks will be accepted.)
Display area
In the display area the selected PCB can be displayed in two different ways, depending on the currently active
"mode":
- Upon opening, the editor is initially in the
"Structure Mode"
(see Fig. 8.1.4). In this mode, the name and the
structure of the loaded PCB are displayed. To be able to manipulate the PCB´s structure, the individual
partial PCB structures must be selected by clicking with the mouse.
- If the editor is in the
"Graphic Mode"
(see Fig. 8.1.6) the entire PCB (depending on the selection of the ele-
ments, see section 8.1.3.4) is displayed graphically, including all placement positions, fiducials, ink spots,
coordinate systems, etc. If the offset values of at least one substructure are not completely defined, a
"structure graphic" is displayed in addition to the display of the PCB (see Fig. 8.1.7).
Command Area
Every command in this area is symbolized by an icon. If a partial PCB structure has been selected in the display
area, it can be manipulated by means of the activated command (see section 8.1.3.3).
Setting area
If the Structure Editor is in the Graphic Mode (see Fig. 8.1.6), different display options can be set using the
selection possibilities offered in this area (see section 8.1.3.4).

NOTE
Only the two first menu options of the menu are described in the following. The functions of the remaining
options of this menu are described in chapt. 2.
- Call up the Structure Editor for the processing of a new PCB
● Select FILE --> Open... .
The FSB for the selection of a new PCB is opened (see page 8 - 6).
● Select PCB and confirm with OK.
The structure of the selected PCB is displayed in the display area of the new window.
Or (to obtain an empty window for a new PCB):
● Enter new name.
The window of the Structure Editor is opened under the name of the new PCB
- Copying PCB
This function makes it possible to duplicate a currently loaded PCB. All predefined data (placement
positions, cluster, fiducials) will also be copied.
● Activate icon in the command area.
(The arrow in the icon points from the bottom left to the top right).
● Click on the uppermost partial PCB structure of the PCB structure (see Fig. 8.1.4).
● Select menu option FILE --> Copy PCB.
The following dialog box appears:
● Enter the name and confirm with OK.
A second window of the Structure Editor containing the name of the new PCB and the copied
structure are displayed on the screen.

Structure Mode)
● Activate icon in the command area
● In the display area select partial PCB structure with a mouse-click.
● Select SERVICES --> Placement Position Editor.

- Call up the Cluster Editor for the definition of the cluster data (only possible in the Structure Mode)
● Activate icon in the command area.
● In the display area select partial PCB structure with a mouse-click.
● Select SERVICES --> Cluster Editor
The window of the Cluster Editor (see Fig. 8.1.8) is opened.
- Structure Mode
This menu option serves to switch the view area from the Graphic Mode to the Structure Mode.
● Select SERVICES --> Struct. mode

On opening the Structure Editor, the "Select" command is automatically active.
(The arrow in the icon points from the bottom left to the top right).
NOTE
The procedures and results of some of the commands described in the following are shown as examples
in Fig. 8.1.5 where the numbers 1 or 2 indicated in the circles represent the sequence of the steps to be
performed; the structures represented as broken lines stand for the results.
