After having generated a plate, the position and size of the plate may be changed at any time within a
marking window.
This can be done retrospectively after some boxes have been generated and positioned on a plate.
Select the ”Position and size” command from the ”Plate” menu item
or:
double click on the left-hand mouse key inside the plate which is raised in order to show any
previously displayed ”Plate” prompts.
5.7 Generating new boxes
5.7.1 Generating standard boxes
As previously explained, there are several types of boxes. Their generation, however, is only
marginally different and therefore can be treated jointly. The most simple way of generating new
boxes consists of generating so-called standard boxes. Standard boxes have a preset position, size
and contents. These allow fast and simple generation of new boxes and to adapt these by convenient
processing functions to your own requirements.
