place holders use a dotted black line; spot color image place holders use a solid color
line in the assigned spot color.
Small Text is drawn solid in the color that reflects the
fill. Gradient fills are drawn as a cross hatch pattern and clear fills (or no fills) are
drawn using diagonal lines.
Tip: The rules of wireframe drawing are complex. Click View > Wireframe Legend to access (and
print) a chart of the current wireframe settings.
Wireframe Mode for Single Color or Cut Print Colors
There are two Wireframe Modes for Single Color or Cut Print Colors:
♦
Finish
causes the entire selection and everything underneath it to be erased when
moving objects and then redrawn when the object is placed. Finish mode eliminates
the small “holes” that may appear when using nudge to move an object one pixel at a
time.
♦
Redraw is the default and is the wireframe drawing mode as it was in Composer
versions older than OMEGA 2.0.
Filled Mode:
There are two Filled modes that can be set in this dialog box or in the View menu.
♦
Design View displays all visible objects in the job. Hidden objects do not display.
♦
Output View displays visible objects in the job as they would appear when printed
and cut on a plotter with the excess vinyl weeded away. Hidden objects do not
display.
Number of Fill Stripes
In the Filled mode, you can specify the number of stripes in a fill. More stripes (about 50 or
more) make the fill appear smooth, while fewer stripes (10, for example) make the fill appear
coarse. While more stripes may offer a more pleasing on-screen appearance, it takes longer to
fill the shape. The stripes control only affects what you see on the computer monitor. It does
not affect the printed output.
Zoom Wider/Tighter
Use the slider to adjust the Zoom Wider or Tighter. Alternately, enter a number between 0 to
20 (zero being the widest and 20 being the tightest). The default setting is 8. See the topic:
“Adjusting the level of Zoom magnification” for details.
