Tip: For optimal results, elements must be placed between the dotted

lines. Elements touching these dotted lines will lead to broken designs

and imperfect results.

5.5.10 Rotation of Elements

A user may rotate any element either manually through the Rotate button shown in figure

23, or automatically, to the desired angle by entering the value of required degrees of

rotation for the element in the rotate field shown in figure 27.

To rotate an element manually, the user must select the element and the Rotate button

from the toolbar shown in figure 23. After that, drag the mouse while holding down the

mouse button until the element is rotated to the required degree.

The rotate field in toolbar shown in figure 27 will also show the value of the rotation angle

for the selected element. A user may also rotate the element to the desired angle by

selecting the element and then entering the value of degrees in the rotation field.

Tip: While the Shift key on the keyboard is pressed, the Rotate tool

temporarily functions as the Select tool

Please note that when selecting multiple elements, each element will rotate about its own

centre. Section 5.5.9 of this document may be referred to for more information.

The Flat Bed Foil Printer supports all foil colours discussed in section 4.1. Each colour is

handled as a separate layer. These layers are shown in a separate layer sub-window that is

visible on the right side of the design tab. If the layer window is not visible, click on the show

/ hide layer window toolbar button. By default, the layer window automatically resizes in

width to hide most of the contents. By placing the mouse over this layer window, the

window can be expanded. Users may use the pin button at the top of this layer window to

enable / disable this auto hide feature of the layer window.

By default, the selected foil colour is A-Metallic Gold. If another foil colour is to be used for

printing, it can be selected in the layer window. Changing the foil colour of the selected

layer changes the print colour for each element associated with that layer. The foil colour

per group (A, B, C, D or E) is only a preview and will not result on settings for the selected

material. Please note that not all groups contain same colours.

The cover material associated with the selected layer is displayed at the bottom of the layer

window. By default, 'Black' material is selected. Users may select the material from the

given list associated with each selected layer. The material will result on the print settings.

Change settings for that specific material in the selected foil group if print quality is not as

expected.
