Applied Parameters: Action=Start
Summary
This command is used to enter editing mode for the currently selected part (PCB) in the active Multi-board Assembly document (*.MbaDoc). Editing supports the positioning of components on that board only.
Access
With the required PCB selected in the workspace, this command can be accessed from the Multi-board Assembly Editor by:
- Choosing the Edit » Edit Selected Part command from the main menus.
- Using the Ctrl+E keyboard shortcut.
- Right-clicking anywhere in the workspace and choosing the Edit Selected Part command from the context menu.
Use
First, ensure that the PCB that you want to edit is selected. Either click directly on it in the workspace or click on its entry in the Multiboard Assembly panel.
After launching the command, you will enter part editing mode, with the selected PCB zoomed and centered (where possible) to fit within the main design window. The board will remain displayed in its full coloring, with all other boards grayed-out (Read-only).
Make changes to the placement of components as required, using manual placement and/or alignment features. Once you are finished editing, use the Finish Part Editing command (Ctrl+E).
If you want to cancel editing without implementing any of the changes, use the Cancel Part Editing command.
