Is there a way to only display the undefined apertures when having to manually enter the values?

Is there a way to only display the undefined apertures when having to manually enter the values? I noticed that the aperture table does not have that as an option and I would need to enter the entire table.

"Is there a way to only display the undefined apertures"

After loading your files use the "Command Console" (under the View menu) to display undefined apertures: Warning: Dcode 100 is Undefined.

The aperture list will also show undefined apertures as "none":

Dcode:         Shape:          Parameters:
=========================================
10        Circle    5.00
11        None
12        None
13        None
14        None
15        Circle    64.90

Typically most users who load RS274D Gerbers files without apertures, use the "Aperture
Rules Template" to automatically allow FAB 3000 to scan your aperture file
and load apertures instantly --- so there's no need to enter them in
manually.

If you have a sample Aperture File, please send to me and I'll create a
tutorial movie showing how to have FAB 3000 read your aperture list so you
never need to enter them in manually.

There's several tutorials on the FAB 3000 user forum, YouTube Videos, or just type 'Aperture Rules' in the Ask A Question Box (located in Top-Right).
