points and picas that they use in publishing and printing business.
MaxMotion provides you specialty engraving fonts such that it makes
no difference to you whether you are using one of the single line
engraving fonts or a TruType font that you acquired from a reputable
font foundry. You do not load the fonts separately for MaxMotion. All
the loaded fonts are the property of Windows architecture and all the
fonts are available to any other Windows program as well as
MaxMotion.
Normal text entry is black characters. Selected text or graphic boxes are
blue. Tool offsets and fills are red. Select and engrave feature is quite
unique. If you want to select only a part of any job to be engraved,
simply select that part of the job and you will see that the final screen
will show the entire job in two different colors. The rest of the job will
be black while the selected part will be blue.
The text can be selected as one of the two different ways. One is with
the arrow pointer and you will be able to select the whole line with one
click anywhere inside the line. The selected line will be bound by a
blue line. The other way to select the text is with text cursor. The
selected characters will be shown as inverted blocks, black space with
white character. You should be careful and keep your text cursor close
to the character or on top of the character in order to select the intended
characters. Bring the cursor close to character, click the cursor and hold
it down while dragging it. You will see the characters being selected.
There are two ways to change font characteristics. The fonts and size
can be changed just prior to entering the text by making necessary
changes or select the entered text with text tool and then make the
necessary changes.
If you depress Enter or Return key at the end of a text line, MaxMotion
will automatically create a new line showing a box on the screen. The
position and font value of the new line will depend upon the selections
made in the Auto Layout dialog box. The box on the screen indicating a
creation of a new line will vanish when you enter the text. The box will
be left there if the line was created simply for the spacing purposes.
The box is never sent out to the engraving machine. MaxMotion will
respect and calculate with all the lines created by the user.
