Creating Multiples and Serialization in Vision 9 Expert and Pro 319
Before proceeding, it is important to note that in the Multiples window, the spacing between items will
be based NOT on the plate size, but on the size of the graphics. To properly locate the text within
the engraving area on our parts, we will add a rectangle that matches the plate size as shown below
(which also represents the area on the part where we want to engrave. (To better illustrate the rectangle,
the color was set to red and the line width was widened in the picture below. When drawing the
rectangle, change the color to red (by left, then right clicking on the red color swatch on the bottom of
the screen) so we can differentiate it from the black text that will be engraved, size it to 3" x 2" and
center it to the plate using the Layout > Arrange and Distribute > Align to Sign Blank > Center)
NOTE: At this time, it is recommended to SAVE this file. Once multiples have been created, the file will
be modified and if the file is saved after the multiples have been created, you won't be able to use the
file to create additional jobs with different serial numbers. SAVE the file and use it as a template. (When
opening the file to create the next batch of serial numbers, use File > Save As and re-save the file with a
new name. Example - The file is saved at this point with the file name MULT1-Template.cdl. When you
open this file to create a new set of serial numbers, first, save the file as MULT1-SN00015-00044.cdl.
This will help keep track of the serial numbers already created.
