You can change the erasure padding of text on individual lines, including changing the padding between line text and each edge of their erased areas independently. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only, or for all layouts and frame chains.

Prerequisite

  • The lower zone is shown.

  • Properties is selected in the lower zone toolbar.

  • Graphic Editing Graphic Editing button is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

  • You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.

Procedure

  1. In Engrave mode, select the lines whose text erasure padding you want to change.
    Note

    You must select either only horizontal lines or only vertical lines.

  2. In the Properties panel, activate the Erasure padding properties, individually or together, in either the Horizontal Lines or Vertical Lines group.

    • L changes the padding between line text and their left edge.

    • R changes the padding between line text and their right edge.

    • T changes the padding between line text and their top edge.

    • B changes the padding between line text and their bottom edge.

  3. Change the values in the value fields.

Result

Increasing the values increases the padding, decreasing the values decreases the padding. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.
