Plotting Locked Areas

Areas on the mounting panel can be locked for placement so that no part placement can occur on these areas. Locked areas are independent objects drawn as rectangles.

Precondition:

You have opened a project.

  1. Project data > Parts / Devices > 2D panel layout navigator
  2. In the graphical editor, select the panel layout page where you would like to draw a locked area.
  3. Select Popup menu > Locked area.
  4. Draw the rectangle that represents the locked area.

    The locked area is drawn.

Note:

As soon as part placement is attempted in a locked area, the placement is prevented, and an appropriate message is displayed.
