3.When an object has been placed in the white field and you wish to perform
some editing on it will only be necessary to move the mouse somewhere within the
object and to press its right key. The “edit” window will appear on the screen.
4. If you wish to delete an object it is enough to position the mouse on it and click
to select - then press the DEL key on the PC keyboard.
5. Refers to the drawing of texts and bar-codes - if there is a syntax error in the
Text data field (respectively Bar-code data field) the image which will appear will be:
- text - instead of text you will see
@@@@
- the printer will not print anything;
- bar-code - a blot will appear on the image of the bars and the digits between the
bars will be replaced by zeros. It this case too - the printer will generate no prints.
6. There some key combinations which you might have to use:
Ctrl + C
copies a selected object. This may become a necessity when there are
several similar objects within one and the same object. After copying, the insertion of
these objects is done by pressing the key
Ctrl + V.
Shift
may be used when there are several objects in the white field placed one
over the other. You can select each one of these overlaid objects by clicking the left key
of the mouse (after it has been positioned on the selected object). When the dotted line
closes around the selected object you can release the
Shift
key of the keyboard and
press the right key of the mouse to edit the object.
Ctrl
Keeping this key pressed and by consecutively pressing the left mouse key
over an object the object/objects are selected. This is necessary when you need to
replace a group of objects from one location to another.
Ctrl + A
selects absolutely all objects you have drawn.
Ctrl + U
unmarks selected objects
Ctrl + B
and
Ctrl + T
are used for overlaid objects. When you have two objects
one over the other and you wish to inverse the colour of one of them in contrast to the
other (for example, a black rectangle over which you wish to place a text the colour of
which must be inverse to the background) you must select the rectangle and press
Ctrl
+ B
to place it under the text (or select the text and press
Ctrl + T
to place that over the
rectangle).
