Area Editing (Option)

❒ However, areas containing areas (see below) are permitted. Designate start-
ing with the outermost area.
❒ These operations are available, under the following conditions:
• When designating areas with Closed Loop mode, Multi-closed Loop or
Line/Frame mode.
❒ If you mark a line and it overlaps another line you have previously marked,
the last point you marked will be canceled automatically.
❒ If you designate an area in Right Angle Polygon mode, make sure to mark
points that make right angles. If you mark a point which does not match, the
editor will automatically correct it to make a right angle.
❒ If you want to designate a triangular area, use Polygon mode.
❒ In Closed Loop mode or Multi-Closed Loop mode, the machine might not de-
tect a closed loop area or multi-closed loop area completely under the follow-
ing conditions:
• The outline is not completely closed, it is too light to detect, or the thickness
is uneven.
• The outline is thinner than 0.3mm.
• The outline is not black.
• The space between two closed loop outlines is less than 1mm.
• The closed loop can be up to 2 meters long.
• The area enclosed by the outline is not white.
❒ The more areas you designate, the more time copying will take.
❒ If you erase an area, group, or job setting, it is cleared from the display. How-
ever, the points are still stored in memory and are not cleared until you exit
Area Editing. This affects the maximum number of areas you can designate.
❒ Closed Loop mode, Multi-Closed Loop mode and Frame/Line mode cannot
be used with Rectangle mode, Right Angle Polygon mode, and Polygon mode
for one group at a time.
❒ If you need to align areas precisely, you can have a grid shown on the en-
larged display. The grid spacing matches the scale of the display.
