angled line copied to it. After editing click OK or just press Enter to
copy it back to the arc or angled line. Such text can also be edited in
edit layout dialog, which is identical for arc but with a difference for
angled text. When an angled text is edited from edit text dialog, the text
is rewritten with respect to its reference point, thus its side margin as
well as base line may change. Edit layout dialog, however, will
relocate the text according to the margin and baseline specified.
Arcs and angular lines will maintain the same condense percent of font
as with other similar lines as per setting. If you do not want this, you
can either turn condense mode to single line or have font size
marginally different from the rest along with similar lines mode.
We have made sure that a line engulfed by a bigger line (or arc) is
always shown on top and thus easily selected when clicked. To ensure
this after moving lines around, press F4 + Enter to sort the lines again
in proper order.
Auto layout looks at the boxes around line or arc for calculations of line
spacing. If an arc is not stretching till corners, it will seem to have more
gap from next line. If you have placed other smaller line within the arc,
do not Re-layout with F3 + Enter, it will separate them out. Use F4 +
Enter instead using the Edit Layout capability to re-layout the design
without losing your personal preferences.

powerful features that should simplify your job design. Once you

capabilities of saving and retrieving job files and templates, you will be

The best part is that the job takes shape right in front of your eyes
because of the graphic nature of the Microsoft Windows environment.
