Track Pattern Assistant

---

Use the Track Pattern assistant to choose the width spacing patterns for a region or global area that are displayed as tracks on the canvas.

The Track Pattern assistant is a dockable assistant for enabling the predefined WSSPDefs for the global grid and choosing the active pattern and optional wire type for enabled WSSPDefs from the allowed patterns. To show only a subgroup of available patterns, you can filter WSSPDefs by group, name, and period, and filter patterns by name and wire type. Filter settings can be saved to memory or to a file and be restored later. You can control the visibility of the active patterns in the canvas. Width spacing pattern regions can be created and edited using sub-forms.

Only the WSSPDefs with a specified snapping layer will be shown in the Track Pattern assistant and its subforms, such as Create Region. WSSPDefs without a snapping layer are automatically filtered out.
