Instruction Manual
The Properties Panel
The Pacesetter ELS Properties Panel appears on the right of
the workspace. This panel displays, and allows you to modify,
all the properties associated with the lettering in your designs.
These properties include the text properties, the fill properties,
and underlay properties. Each of these types of properties has
its own section in the Properties Panel, and each will be
discussed in detail in its own section to follow.
If you need to make room in the Properties Panel in order to
see some of the fields better, you can collapse one or more
areas by clicking the small minus sign next to its name; the box
will then display a small plus sign. Clicking on the plus sign
expands that area again.
Adjusting Text Properties
The Properties Panel allows you to modify various properties of
the currently selected text segment. You can use this area of
the panel to change text itself, choose a font, and select the
height, alignment, and spacing of the letters..
The property fields you see in the text area may be different,
depending on which kind of text frame is selected; for example,
when a Circle frame is selected, this area will show two places
where you can input text, labelled 'Upper' and 'Lower'.
The properties that you will see displayed will be slightly
different depending on which type of text (Normal, Circle or
Monogram) is currently selected.
Changing the Text
As well as being able to type directly on the screen (see
appropriate sections under "Creating Text"), you can also input
your text by typing in into the Text field on the Properties Panel.
Note, however, that there is some variation on what you can
