Marking

A marking is a scribe line across a face. It removes no material.

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

When to use it

Use a marking to show where another part goes, where to cut on site, or a reference height.

Fields

Field	Unit	Range or options	Default	What it changes
Position X	mm	from 0	1500	Where the line crosses the face edge, along the part.
Face		Top, Bottom, Front, Back	Front	The side of the part the processing is on.
Angle	°	5 to 175	Square (90°)	Angle of the line. Unset means square (90°).
Style		Single, Double	Single	Single or double line.

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

Add a marking

1. Select the part in the Parts list.
2. Under Extra processings, click Add.
3. Type marking in the search field and pick Marking.
4. Set Face and Position X.
5. Leave Angle at square or set an angle, and pick Style.
6. Check that the part shows a green check. If not, open the Issues tab.

Caution

An angled marking cannot be mirrored: it is anchored to the face edge, which moves to the other side when mirrored. BVN writes square markings only.
