Creating a Region out of a Pattern

Turning a pattern into a region creates a at-bottomed recess with the shape of the pattern. A pattern can be

turned into a region simply by selecting ‘Carve Region’ in the Tools menu, Tools tool bar, or the contexts menu.

(See Regions on page 91.)

Outlining a Pattern

Outlining a pattern creates an outline path around the pattern. If the pattern has internal open areas those areas

will also be outlined. Outline will outline all patterns and regions that are active on the board. If two patterns

are active and overlapping each other then the outline will be around both of them. The outline can be used

like any other vector to apply cut routs or proles to. The outline function does not remove the original pattern

but is independent of it once created. This means that the outline will not re-size with the original pattern.

It also means that the original pattern can be removed without affecting the outline. A pattern or group of

patterns can be outlined by selecting the desired patterns then select ‘Outline Pattern(s)’ in the ‘Tools’ menu,

the Tools toolbar, or by right-clicking on the pattern and selecting it from the contexts menu. (See Using Two

Dimensional Geometry)
