Active Standards

Sets the active state of all support types in the catalogue, this controls the availability of supports for use on the project by the user.

Active support types are included in selection lists.

Inactive support types are excluded from selection lists.

Tabs along the top of the window allow you to select the support type and the list of available supports displays the corresponding supports. The active status for each support is indicated by the colour of the first column, green indicates active and amber indicates inactive. Multiple supports can be selected in the list of available supports and you can Activate or Deactivate them respectively. If a single support is selected, the active status of individual bore sizes can also be defined using the list of available bore sizes.

Changes made are only applied to the database when Apply is clicked. Cancel removes the window. If changes have been made, but not applied, a window displays asking if the changes are to be applied before exiting.
