If I understand you correctly, yes it does have an effect, but it does not eliminate the code from being posted. I believe you will get an error if, for example, you blank a surface when editing an existing process pertaining to that surface. This is just fresh in my mind today: the message Onecnc will give is "nothing to machine" when I had the surface blanked.
However, if the process is already set up, I believe you can blank the surface or whatever, but if that process is within the active toolpath group, the code will still be created.
If you want to eliminate a process, and save it for later, simply create a new toolpath group and drag that particular process which you want to postpone, into the new toolpath group.
Only one toolpath group can be active at a time, so this controls what gets posted.
