Engrave
You can engrave part numbers and other text into a part using this feature. The
ENGRAVE feature has two parts. First, specify the characteristics of the text, such as
where it goes and how large it is. Then you need to select the actual text characters
(alpha or numeric) that you want to engrave.
The text that you specify will occupy a rectangular area called a text block.
To get the ENGRAVE TEXT step, press the MORE STEPS softkey, then the ENGRAVE
softkey.
First, enter the location on the part for the UPPER LEFT
CORNER of the text block, then the CHARACTER HEIGHT .
If you enter a TILT ANGLE , the entire text block will be
rotated around the upper left corner.
The way the text letters and numbers look is called style.
STYLE has two parts: FONT and MODIFIER .
You may select the FONT from the list available under the
ENGRAVER FONTS softkey. The font determines the shapes
of the characters. In the MILLPWR STICK font, characters
are formed with straight lines. In the SIMPLE font, both lines
and arcs are used to form characters. Some fonts have more characters to choose from
than others.
The MODIFIER field lets you select between normal and mirrored text using softkeys.
