You can change the thickness of individual ties, including changing the thickness of the middle of ties independently of the ends of ties, independently of your project-wide settings. 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 is selected in the Engrave toolbox.
-
You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.
Procedure
- In Engrave mode, select the ties whose thickness you want to change.
-
In the Properties panel, activate the following properties, individually or together, in the Ties group:
-
End thickness
-
Middle thickness
-
- Change the values in the value fields.
Result
Increasing the values makes the corresponding part of the selected ties thicker, decreasing the values makes the corresponding part of the selected ties thinner. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.
Tip
-
Deactivating the properties returns the corresponding part of the selected ties to their default thickness.
-
You can change the default thickness of all ties project-wide on the Ties page in Engraving Options.
