greater control by maintaining original colors or mapping to Gerber vinyl colors when
importing vinyl only shapes.

Use only Gerber fonts
Turn on Use only Gerber fonts to convert all text to Gerber fonts. Turn off this check box to
import TrueType™ fonts as Gerber Small Text. If there is no compatible Gerber font, then the
Font Substitution dialog box displays and you can choose which font to use. To choose a
different font from the one displayed, click the Substitute Font name and select a new font from
the drop down list.
Suppress filter dialog boxes
Turn on Suppress filter dialog boxes to stop import filter dialog boxes from appearing during
the import process. Turn on this check box before importing multiple files so that the Batch
import sequence continues without interruption. By default this check box is turned off in the
Import dialog box when importing single files.
Keep layers
When working with layers, OMEGA assumes that all jobs have at least one layer. Depending
on the file type you are importing, the following applies:
♦ For a file type that does NOT support layers, a layer is automatically added to the file
upon import. Depending on the options that are chosen in the Import dialog box the
following occurs:
♦
Turn on Keep Layers to import the file into Composer
with a single layer which has the same name as the file.
For example, Horse.BMP.
♦
Clear Keep Layers and choose Flatten layers to: New
Layer to import the file into Composer with a single layer
which has the same name as the file. For example, Horse.BMP.
♦
Clear Keep Layers and choose Flatten layers to: Current Layer to import the
file onto the current active layer.
♦ For a file type that supports layers you can choose to:
♦
Turn on Keep Layers and the file imports maintaining layers and existing
layer names.
♦
Clear Keep Layers and choose Flatten layers to: New Layer to merge all
layers. The file imports onto a single new layer which has the same name as
the file.
♦
Clear Keep Layers and choose Flatten layers to: Current Layer to ignore all
layers. The file's objects are added to the current active layer.
