Manual Configuration
As explained before, Guideline calculates the stacks basing on the distance from the table of the selected points and some pre-set rules.
However, there might be specific occurrences when the solution proposed is not the desired configuration.
Should the combination(s) be not the one desired, it is possible to manually change it.
Whatch a tutorial in this video
Considering the logic how Guideline is designed, the job's position defined is an input to the software, so most of the times you do not want it modified by manually configuring the stacks: to prevent that, you should lock the position activating "Lock Distance" into Piece Setting window (see Piece Settings)
To then enter in Manual Configuration mode, click on one stack and choose Manual Configuration icon from the contextual toolbar
In this window, the configuration of each stack can be manually modified by dragging-and-dropping the components from the available ones into the library.
In order to prevent impossible combinations, the software calculates the resulting height and checks the compatibility of the selected components and of the mutual heights between the stacks.
Library can be navigated by clicking the buttons in the Dimension selection area: Guideline 4.0 will display the elements available (see also chap. Library customisation).
The manual column will be locked by default (to prevent Guideline 4.0 to recalculate it in case of workpiece repositioning) and colored in black. It can be unlocked anytime in full or partially by pressing on the small lock icons: if unlocked, the column will be recalculated automatically when the job will be repositioned.
Column can also be rotated of 90 degrees (useful for long bodies with 2 holding screws like M16 H40).
