11.2.3 Design marking strips
You have already specified the name for the marking strip, “X-strip”.
The next thing to do is to define the strip parameters:
First select the alignment of the
strip,lay the strip(s) vertically or
horizontally on the engraver.
Then enter the length and width
of the strip, followed by the
number of strips lying on the
engraver.
By using the < Take measurements > function, it is easy to calculate the start
coordinates and the strip spacing.
Proceed exactly as described in the previous section.
After you have measured the strips and clicked on Apply, you can specify a layout for
the strips in the right-hand section of the window.
You can subdivide the individual strips using horizontal and vertical scale factors.
First, if required, divide the strips into horizontal sections.
First define the height of the first section, by entering the height in mm in the
> Partition 1 field. The remaining height is then transferred into > Partition 2. In this
way, you can subdivide the strips into a maximum of 5 sections.
When you have finished dividing them up into sections, first click on the Apply button.
This completes the horizontal subdivision.
Next, you can make a vertical subdivision for each section. Click on Crosswise for the
relevant strip.
