Define Areas and holes.JPG

User Defined Overcoat Areas & Holes are created by entering the size and position of the coverage area or hole. It is possible to define up to 2 Overcoat Coverage Areas and up to 2 Overcoat Holes, these will appear in a preview window in the right hand side, 'Areas' will appear as Grey polygons and 'Holes' will appear as Black polygons.

 

Defining a custom coverage area (or hole):

1)    Select one of the available Profiles from the list on the left side of the window - its details will be displayed on the right side along with a preview.

2)    Define the size (height and width) of the required coverage area (or hole) and it will be displayed as a rectangle in the preview window - use this rectangle to gauge the height and width values correctly.

3)    Move the rectangle to the required position. Positioning is based on a grid reference using an X (left/right) and Y (up/down) axis and moving in units of pixels (Tip: there are 11.8 (approx. 12) pixels per millimeter (mm)). Use the preview as a guide while increasing/decreasing the X and Y values.

4)    Dragging and dropping the rectangle over the desired position within the preview will automatically populate the coordinates for you.
