These settings are for adjusting the position of texts placed along marking lines in the coded part (DXF).

Distance Text-Marking

Set the distance in mm between a text and a marking. This setting can be disabled by the term 'uit' (the default).

Offset Before And After Text

Set the amount of extra space (in mm) placed around the text along the marking line. Half of the extra space is added between the text and the plate contour. No other texts will be placed in the extra space.

Note: The value of this setting should be equal to the sum of the values of Min. Mark. Txt Start – Contour and Min. Mark. Txt End – Contour.

Maximum Size Reduction

The first value sets the maximum reduction factor for a text. It is used to place this text on the coded part without interfering with other texts or lines. A value ranging from 0 to 1 can be used.

The second value specifies the reduction factor for a text when the required reduction factor is smaller then the first value. If this value is 0 the text will be deleted. If the value is 1, the text is not scaled or moved at all. Other values will cause the text to be placed at the position with the most free space in a text height multiplied by the specified value.

CL Margin For Text On Marking

Defines the distance in millimetres from the centreline for a position where a marking can get a prefix or postfix.

You can define the prefix and postfix with the Prefix Marking At Centre Line and Postfix Marking At Centre Line settings.

Min. Mark. Txt Start – Contour

Set the minimum amount of extra space (in mm) placed between the start of the text along the marking line and the plate contour.

Note: The sum of the value of this setting and the value of Min. Mark. Txt End – Contour should be equal to the value of Offset Before And After Text.

Min. Mark. Txt End – Contour

Set the minimum amount of extra space (in mm) placed between the end of the text along the marking line and the plate contour.

Note: The sum of the value of this setting and the value of Min. Mark. Txt Start – Contour should be equal to the value of Offset Before And After Text.
