Explode Coordinate To Free Primitives

Parent process: PCB:GroupPrimitives

Applied parameters: Action=Explode | Object=Coordinate

Summary

This command is used for converting a coordinate object back to its original set of primitive parts.

After launching the command, the cursor will change to a crosshair and you will enter coordinate explode mode. Position the cursor over the coordinate you wish to explode and click or press ENTER. The Confirm dialog appears, with the prompt "Confirm Convert Coordinate To Primitives". If you click YES the coordinate will revert to the various primitives that it was made up from.

Continue converting further coordinates to their free primitives, or right-click or press ESC to exit coordinate explode mode.

Availability

In PCB Editor, run command Tools » Convert » Explode Coordinate To Free Primitives.

Notes

Although there is no actual command to regroup an exploded coordinate, you can use the Undo command to achieve this.
