If you enter in the numbers that Autoplate asks for, Vision will create the
layout.
Plate Width: The width of the plate.
Plate Height: The height of the plate.
Number of lines: The number of lines on the plate.
From Line Number: Autoplate calculates the spacing for specific lines on
your plate. You can have it space the whole plate or just selected lines of
text. This number would be used if you only wanted Autoplate to space a
portion of the lines on the plate, not all of the lines. This would be the first
line to be calculated.
To Line Number: Autoplate calculates the spacing for specific lines on
your plate. You can have it space the whole plate or just selected lines of
text. This number would be used if you only wanted Autoplate to space a
portion of the lines on the plate, not all of the lines. This would be the last
line to be calculated.
Text occupies: This is the percentage of the plate that will be covered by
text. If you have a one-inch tall plate with one line and the percentage set at
45 percent, the letter height would be .45 inches. This is what calculates the
suggested letter height.
Note: This applies to your layout as long as you do not change the
top and bottom margin. If you do change the top and bottom margins, then
the Text occupies value will calculate the letter height based off of the plate
size less the top and bottom margins.
Top Margin: This is the top margin of your plate. Autoplate will not let
text inside of this margin.
