Automatic Rubber Setup - Numbering

Font

From the pulldown list choose the font for the rubber block text.

Palette

Choose the appropriate radio button:

  • As rubber palette - the palette of any text insertions will be the same as the palette in which the block has been created.
  • Specific palette - allows you to specify a palette from the pulldown for all text.

Start number

Enter the first block number; this number will be incremented by one for each block.

Text size

Define the width of the text as a percentage of the rubber width.

Mirror text

Swtch this option on if the text is to be mirrored about the Y axis.

Always readable

Switch this option on to make the text readable regardless of how the layer is viewed.

Auto-numbering on rubber

If this option is checked all rubber blocks will be created with text number insertions.

Remove text if not within rubber bounds

Switch this option on if you want to automatically remove any numbers that fall outside the block extents.

Resize text to fit inside rubber boundary

If the text is too large to fit inside the block extents, then switching this option on will cause the text size to be made smaller until it does fit.

Minimum size

Enter the minimum size that the text is allowed to be. If it still won't fit then it will be removed.

Alphanumberic one-up labels

Switch this option on if you want to number the rubber block parts relative to the one-up insert.

Not all areas will need numbering, so you should use the following check-boxes to switch on those that are required.

  • One-ups
  • Perimeter and waste
  • Sheet
  • Rotary
  • Profile

Laser text on die

If this option is checked the numbers will also be copied to the die layer.
