About this task
You create your layout label lines in the
-L Lines
Definition table.
Procedure
- If there is no -L line yet in the -L Lines Definition table,
click Add to create a first line. Otherwise,
click first on a line already defined to indicate the insertion point
of the new label. As a result, a new line is inserted just after the
selected line.
- A default zero value is assigned to the label line to identify
the label on the line. The line is marked as erroneous. You must then
define the label. To define the characteristics of the label, you
can directly enter the required values in the editable column cells
or complete the corresponding fields in the Label Definition section
that opens up.
- Click the line then to refresh and display the label identifier
and the line label numbers.
- To delete label lines in your layout, click Remove.
- To reorder the lines in the layout, use the direction buttons.
Note: The possible actions with the
buttons are also available in the contextual menu of the table.
- To display a view of your layout before you start generating,
click Preview in the Label Definition section.
A preview window gives you a dynamic view of the lines you have created
in the -L Lines tab. You can leave the window
open and see instantaneous updates.
