Rewritable Cards - Define Erase Area:

 

Define Areas and holes.JPG

    Erase areas are created by entering the size and position of the coverage area. It is possible to define 1 Rewrite Area and will appear in a preview window in the right hand side.  The 'Area' will appear as a Grey polygon as you define it.

Defining a custom erase area:

1)    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.

2)    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.

3)    Dragging and dropping the rectangle over the desired position within the preview will automatically populate the co-ordinates for you.
