Defining Table and Overlay Properties

In this step you can define the table dimensions and overlay properties for each Marker file that was created in the previous step.

Note: This dialog is similar to the Marker Definitions dialog. For more information, see Marker Definitions.

To define table and overlay properties:

Select the row of the Marker file you want to define.

You can use the quick menu to perform various actions to the cells in the table. To access the quick menu, Closedclick here.

Enter the following information:

Column

Description

Marker File

Displays the Marker file name.

Table Name

Allows you to select the table you want to use.

Once you select a table, the dimensions are automatically updated.

Note: By default, Default Table is automatically selected. If you want to create your own customized table, you can change the dimensions of the default table (for example, change the table width to 150), once you click outside of the table, Custom appears in the drop-down list as follows:

Table Width

Allows you to enter the table width. Once you change the width, the table changes from Default Table to Custom.

Table Length

Allows you to enter the table length. Once you change the length, the table changes from Default Table to Custom.

Plies

Allows you to enter the number of plies.

Layout Mode

Allows you to select the type of layout and includes the following options:

  • Single: No pieces can be folded.

  • Tubular: Tubular layout refers to fabric that is sold in a tube; pieces can be folded on the upper or lower edges of the Marker. Tubular markers must have at least 2 plies. The fabric can be spread all face up or all face down. Foldable pieces in the up and down directions will have the letter 'U' beside them.

  • Faced: Faced layout refers to fabric that must be spread face to face with folds on the right and left side. Faced Markers must have at least 2 plies. Pieces can be folded on the right and left edges on the Marker. Foldable pieces in the left and right directions will have the letter "S" beside them.

  • Folded: Folded layout refers to tubular fabric that has been spread face to face with folded edges on the right and left side. Pieces can be folded on the upper, lower, right, and left edges of the Marker. Folded Markers must have at least 2 plies. Foldable pieces in the up and down directions will have the letter "U "beside them. Foldable pieces in the left and right directions will have the letter "S" beside them.

Weight

Displays the weight of the fabric on the Marker.

Waste Left

If the Marker has poor edges, allows you to define the waste zone to the left side of the fabric.

Waste Right

If the Marker has poor edges, allows you to define the waste zone to the right side of the fabric.

Waste Up

If the Marker has poor edges, allows you to define the waste zone to the upper side of the fabric.

Waste Down

If the Marker has poor edges, allows you to define the waste zone to the down side of the fabric.
