BOX

This is the command specifier.
Using the following parameters
creates a box that expands down
and to the right from the starting
point at a specific line thickness.

Enter BOX

LT;

Dictates the line thickness.

Line thickness is based on dot increments
(1/72”) horizontally and vertically. Line
thickness is only limited by your
specifications. Do not forget the parameter
delimiter.

The SR, SC, ER, and EC parameters use the same methods for defining the BOX Print area.
Whether in columns or dots depends on the SCALE Command. You may also use the XX.YY
format for plotting duplication print locations explained earlier in the Standards Section.

SR;

Plots the starting ROW of the box.

Enter a value ranging from 1 to one less
than the maximum form length and the
parameter delimiter.

SC;

Plots the starting COLUMN of the
box.

Enter a value ranging from 1 to one less
than the maximum form width and the
parameter delimiter.
