11.1 Setting up marking tags and strips for plotters
The Designer is called up using the following menu item:
> Extras > Designer/Layouter for > Tags and strips (Plotter).
The following window opens up:
Here you can create a new
marking element by clicking
on the New button.
First enter the name of the
marking element you wish to
create in the left-hand window.
Next, you have to make the
following settings:
Use the plotter's support plate
recognition function.
If you have a plotter with support plate recognition, it is advisable to use this function
to make it easier later on to find the marking element that you have created. To do this,
the plotter must be switched on and the relevant support plate positioned on the
plotter.
If you do not want to use support plate recognition, or are using a plotter with no
support plate recognition function, click on Specify type of support plate.
Now you have to select the support plate on which you want to set up the tag or
element.
In the next stage you define the properties of the marking element.
