Description

It's often necessary to switch back and forth between using an Active Area to restrict OOF2 operations and working without an Active Area. In these situations, it's a nuisance to be continually changing the currently active pixels. The Override menu command comes in handy here. When switched on, the entire Microstructure gets temporarily activated, regardless of the current Active Area. When switched off, the current Active Area is again in effect.

In particular, it's convenient to override the current Active Area when it's necessary to select more pixels in order to add them to the Active Area.
