Fastener Point

Deactivate the Point
Deactivates the selected point in the pattern. An O symbol indicates that the point is omitted from the pattern. A deactivated point can be activated in the pattern again.
Edit Entry Distance and Edit Exit Distance
Lets you locally edit Entry and Exit distances at individual points. This can be useful for locally specifying a clearance that is greater than the one defined by the jump distance.
Edit Instruction Set
Lets you set a particular instruction set on this point, Approach Instruction set and Fastening Instruction set.
Edit Local Axis
Lets you locally modify the tool axis at a point.
Invert Selection
All omitted points are retained in the pattern again; pattern points become omitted points.
Renumber
Lets you renumber points in the pattern. Only available when Pattern Ordering mode is set to Manual.
Select All
Includes all the omitted points in the pattern again.
Set as Start Point
Lets you choose the start point for the pattern.
