Configuring Fabrication Output Generators
The Fabrication Outputs category in the OutputJob Editor allows you add and configure any of the output types listed above. The configuration dialog for each output type can be accessed in one of the following ways:
- Selecting the required Output Generator and choosing the Configure command from the Edit menu
- Right-clicking on the required Output Generator and choosing the Configure command from the pop-up menu that appears
- Selecting the required Output Generator and using the keyboard shortcut, Alt + Enter
- Double-clicking directly within the row for the required Output Generator.
Output generator configurations are in the OutJob file. Clicking OK in a configuration dialog saves that configuration, but does not proceed with output generation. Generation of output is performed by running the OutputJob Output Container that those Outputs are targetting.
