has to be lifted so no line is drawn, if not every drawn object should be linked by a
drawn line.
If the use of the Poly-Line tool is finished (when selecting different drawing tool),
Showeditor automatically checks if an invisible end point exists. If not, a dialog box
opens up asking if one should be set.
6.2.5. Line:
A single line can be drawn with this tool. Only one line is drawn and start as well
as end points are automatically set. A line consists of blanked start, colored start,
colored end and blanked end of the line. Thus at least 4 points are generated to
create the line – one visible and one invisible per end.
6.2.6. Point:
This tool allows for drawing single points – which are displayed as single beams /
hot beams by the laser.
ATTENTION! A single point shows as a hot beam in laser output! These single beams
can be very bright! Never point hot beams towards the audience!
Laserworld Showeditor automatically creates three points when a single point is
drawn: One blanked start point, the visible point and one blanked end point.
To see the points in the drawing area it is necessary to set the option “show points” in
Edit.
If the option “blanking visible” is set in Options, visible points can eventually not be
seen properly in the drawing area, as they may be overlapped by invisible ones.
6.2.7. “A”:
Text tool: Writing texts with lasers is a basic demand for many applications. This
tool offers different options for creating text. Depending on the desired “animation”
or design of the text, different procedures for the creation have to be used.
Adjustments to the text tool can be made with a right click on the A-Symbol:
Simple words and signs, not animated
To use this kind of design, the text option “Morphing Text” should be selected.
