The second part is to enter the text characters. Press the EDIT TEXT softkey to see the
ENGRAVE TEXT EDITOR .
The screen is divided into the TEXT BLOCK area and the CHARACTERS area. The TEXT
BLOCK area is where you see the text that you will engrave. The CHARACTERS area
contains all the different characters that are available in the font you have selected.
With the CHARACTERS softkey pressed, use the arrow keys to select the character you
want, then press ENTER . That character is put into the TEXT BLOCK area at the
insertion point. You can leave a space between characters by using a blank “character”.
With the TEXT BLOCK softkey pressed, you can use the arrow keys to move the
insertion point. This is how you place text on more than one line.
If you place the insertion point over an existing character, the DEL key will erase it.
The DELETE LINE softkey will erase the entire line of text that the insertion point is in,
and move all following text lines up. The INSERT LINE softkey will insert a blank text
line, moving existing text lines down. The CLEAR ALL softkey will erase all the text in
the TEXT BLOCK area.
When you have the text block set up the way you want, release the EDIT TEXT softkey
(or press USE ) to get back to the ENGRAVE step. MILLPWR will draw the text block
for you to inspect. Press the EDIT TEXT softkey if you want to make changes, or press
USE to enter the step into your program.
This is the “insertion
point”, where the next
character will go.
This area will hold
the contents of the
text block.
