Annotation Editor

Abhi_Irina

How do I use and create new annotation file?
I am in process on setting up V13 and VELOCITY plotter, I am the only person in the compony on Gerber and new here.
I have no experience in Annotation Editor, I need to display style number, piece name, fabrication, size...ect.
Looking in HELP menu and nothing come s up under Annotation Editor

Kathy Valade

It is there. Open an Annotation Editor file like "A" and then go to the question mark. It will allow you to search from a browser like in google. Here's the location: paste it into your address bar.

@Abhi_Irina. .

Here can be present two different situations.
1. Usually piece name including model name and plotter have to plot last one twice.
2. A new model is including a pieces from another model. Then prefix will not match.

Cos i prefer make annotation to plot model name MD1-50 and piece category PC1-50... Instead piece's name
Especially for markers

Thanx guys, I think I got it working.
Tho I didn't get the sew line to plot dashed, the cut line and the sew line are both plotting solid, even tho on the screen the sew line is dashed...any clues?

Vasyl

To plot line dashed you've set 
LABELS      LT2
Where S - sew line label, 2- dashed, 1-solid, 0-not plot

Abhi_Irina

Thank you Vasil and Kathy!
Everything worked, except dashed sew line while plotting.
I did exactly that and sew line in still plotting solid.
LABLES  LT2

Oh YES! Thank you Vasil ~
My dyslexia got me yet again

Post printscreen of annotation here

Abhi_Irina

Hey Vasyl, thank you so much for your help.
Here is the screen shot of the settings.
Finally its plotting all okey, however when I rotate the pieces in the Velocity software the annotations are not rotating alongside the grain line, the come out all gabled up letters are plotting on top of each other, not lined up

Hey Vasyl, as soon as I posted, I noticed I had LT2 twice in DEFAULT and in LABLS, that it why it was mixing the annotations when I rotate.
I deleted the LT2 in the DEFALT section and its plotting fine ~
