Text

Text writes letters on a face of the part. A new text shows the part number.

Text. Drawn by the editor's own geometry code.

When to use it

Use text for part numbers, position codes or a note for the crew.

Fields

Veld	Eenheid	Bereik of opties	Standaard	Wat het verandert
Position X	mm	from 0	1500	Start of the text along the part.
Position Y	mm	from 0	60	Baseline of the text across the face.
Face		Top, Bottom, Front, Back	Front	The side of the part the processing is on.
Text height	mm	from 1	Automatic	Letter height. Unset means the machine decides.
Text			Nr 1	The text to write. A new text starts as "Nr" and the part number.

Default: what Add fills in on a 3000 mm part of 120 x 120 mm.

Add a text

1. Select the part in the Parts list.
2. Under Extra processings, click Add.
3. Type text in the search field and pick Text.
4. Set Face, Position X and Position Y. Position Y is the text baseline, not its middle.
5. Type the Text. Leave Text height at Automatic to let the machine decide, or set a height.
6. Check that the part shows a green check. If not, open the Issues tab.

Tip

BVN writes up to 20 characters. BVN and BVX both write text, but where the letters land on the face has not been seen on a machine yet, so the export notes it. Check the first text at the machine.

Machine export

Format	Status	Details
BTLx	Partly supported	Text.
BVN (Hundegger)	Partly supported	Operation 0601, up to 20 characters. Where the letters land is not yet confirmed; the export notes this without blocking.
BVX2 (Hundegger)	Partly supported	TextOutput, as CAMBIUM makes it of our BVN: turned round and anchored by its end. Where the letters land is not yet confirmed; the export notes this without blocking.
BTL 10.6	Partly supported	061 Unicode and multiline text. Literal quotes and arbitrary backslash escapes cannot be represented by this text grammar. Receiver placement has a warning.

BTL status describes what the specification can represent. CAMBIUM imported our earlier BTL test files; confirmation applies to the tested forms and build. See BTL coverage for representation and receiver caveats.
