Description

Toggle crossover checking on or off for string linking.

How to use

If the crossover toggle is on then any link that would contain crossovers is automatically rejected.

If sub-optimal linking has been selected and fails then optimal linking will be tried.

If optimal linking also fails and you have checked that there are no crossovers in the strings, then the best strategy is to toggle crossover linking off, complete the link, and then use the wireframe intersections command wf-intersections to locate the crossover.

Crossover checking will increase the processing time, especially where the strings have a large number of points. For regular string shapes the user may elect to set crossover checking off, but a wireframe intersection check is still recommended.
