New Selection Tools for Electrodes
21. February 2020 | Tips & Tricks
With the release of the SMARTElectrode 12.0.2.0 some improvements in geometry selection are also available. In detail these are:
- New selection tool “Tool tip”
- Integration of the shape-based selection filters from the “Flexible Modeling Extension”
- New arrangement of the commands in the “Selection” group
Application of Tool Tip selection
With the new tool tip selection, it is possible to perform a visual inspection of the model with a selected diameter in order to decide for which contours electrodes must be manufactured.
The tool diameter is always oriented in the current view.
Surfaces within can be selected punctually or by a drawn path. When the Shift key is held down, the path is restricted to vertical or horizontal movement. By selecting all surfaces within the path, even small surrfaces segments can be captured.
The new tool not only allows the selection but also the direct processing of the surfaces. A cutout can be created directly for each surface set.
Or the selection is further modified by the user after closing the dialog, as all surfaces remain selected after closing.
Shape-based selection filters
From the flexible modeling extension the shape-based selection commands were integrated into the ribbon. This allows for example the easy selection of cutting geometries and rounds. Furthermore, the coaxial selection filter is also available.
New arrangement of the commands
The less frequently used commands have been moved to the overflow of the “Selection” group

Starting with SMARTElectrode 12.0.2.0 all improvements for selections are available in all electrode assemblies.
