RIPUP

Function: Changes routed wires and vias into airwires.
Changes the display of polygons to "outlines".
Syntax: RIPUP;
RIPUP *..
RIPUP name..
RIPUP ! name..
Mouse: Right button rips up the group.

The RIPUP command changes routed wires (tracks) into airwires. That can be done for:

all signals (RIPUP;)
all signals except certain ones (e.g. RIPUP ! GND VCC)
one or more signals (e.g. RIPUP D0 D1 D2;)
certain segments (chosen with one or more mouse clicks).

In the latter case routed wires and vias are converted to airwires. Selecting an airwire with RIPUP converts all adjacent routed wires and vias into airwires, up to the next pad, smd or airwire.

RIPUP name..

removes the complete signal "name" (several signals may be listed, e.g. RIPUP D0 D1 D2;).

RIPUP *..

removes segments selected by the mouse click up to the next pad/smd.

RIPUP;

removes only signals which are connected to elements (e.g. board crop marks are not affected). The same applies if RIPUP is used on a group.

Note: in all cases the RIPUP command only acts on objects that are in layers that are currently visible!

Polygons

If the RIPUP command is applied to a signal which contains a polygon the polygon will be displayed with its outlines (faster screen redraw!). After the RATSNEST command polygons are displayed in the "real mode".

The RIPUP command can also be used with groups.
