Use the Make Conjugate System tool in the Multi-Configuration Editor toolbar.

This creates a subset of the optical system which models imaging between any two conjugate surfaces as a new configuration.  This feature is useful for evaluating or optimizing the performance of the optical system between any two surfaces of the design.

Remember you may also need to zoom the aperture and field definitions in the new configuration.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your response. The main reason I created a subsystem is that I would like to send out sub-system out for troubleshooting, and I don’t want to share whole system information in order to protect I.P.

In this case, can you kindly let me know how to arrange it?

Thanks,

Ying

Maybe export the bits you don’t want to expose into Black Box files?

Or copy/paste the desired surfaces into a new file and set the aperture and field appropriately in that file?

Run the Design Lockdown tool before eother of those to lock the surface aperture data.

Hi Mark,

To export what I don’t want to expose into a BB file is a good idea! Thanks!

For the second method as you suggested:

“ Or copy/paste the desired surfaces into a new file and set the aperture and field appropriately in that file?”

I don’t know how to set aperture and field appropriately in the new file; for instance, below if I export the parts in the red box out, how to get information on the new starting surface that I can make it match with old whole system?

Regards,

Ying

Hi Mark,

I am working on blackbox, however I get the error message as shown below. My system is a complex one, it does have several CBs and only can show in 3D viewer. what to do in this case?

Thanks,

Ying
