Description
In the flat layout window, the label controls and the print button are in the left panel. The part display frame where the 2D, unbent model of the part is shown and where the labels will be applied is in the center of the window. There are two images of the same part shown - the left part will be labeled with the rotations, angles, and CLR while the right part will be labeled with the length values. In the right panel, a small 3D model of the bent part is shown along with the part's name, die, material, and date of creation.
How To
Start Up
To access flat layout, click on the tools menu on the main tool bar. Click the flat layout option in the drop down menu, as shown below.
Controls and Options
Adding Labels
In the left panel, the first 6 buttons represent the length labels. The 3 on the left will place the distance/length measurements from the start of the part and the 3 on the right will place the length measurements from the end of the part. See image below left for the label type of each button.
To place a length label, click on any of the length label buttons. Once a button is clicked, clicking it again will turn off all length labels that the button controls.
