CN labeling???

Post by Nemanja Vujkovic »

I nested bunch of radiuses, and it was good, but the labeling was off! Some parts did not have a number on them, some had two or three, and some numbers were not on the parts! It's not a big deal,. but if you have 20 different radius partsit can be tricky to label them wright.

It sounds like maybe the Label printer needs to be reset or settings may be of in properties/setup of label printer, causing missalignment. Keep me up to date, so I can ensure your up and running.

I think what Nemanja is talking about is on the sheet layout pages. when you have parts that are just big arcs, for example, the number for the part on the sheet is printed at the \"center\" of the part... which is taken by the extreme x-dimension by the extreme y-dimension. So if the arc is big enough, that \"center\" point is actually inside the void created by that arc. Now stack a bunch of arcs together and have fun figuring out what label goes where. This also happens when I have cut build-ups for under the front edges of counters with strange profiles.

Is there a way that the numbers could always be printed within the actual outline of the part, not just the center of the area the part takes up?

Nemanja, correct me if I am wrong.
