Layer & text style assignment

Use the Layer & Text Style Assignment tab to assign layers and text styles to different plate elements. These assignments control how geometry and associated text are represented in the DXF/DWG export.

Layer & Text Style Assignment window contains two sections.

Text Layer / Text Style assignment

Use this section to define the layer and text style for textual elements associated with plate features.

For each element:

• Select a Text Layer to control where the text is placed in the output.

• Select a Text Style to control the appearance of the text.

• Enable the checkbox to include the text in the export.

  Element	Description
  Part Info	Specifies the layer and text style used for part-related information.
  Direction	Specifies the layer and text style for direction indicators.
  Bevel TS/OS/BS	Defines the layer and text style used for bevel annotations on the top, opposite, and bottom sides of the plate.
  Excess	Specifies how excess-related annotations are layered and styled.

  Default TS/OS/BS	Provides the fallback layer and text style for text elements on the respective sides of the plate.

Line Layer assignment

Use this section to assign layers for geometric elements in the export.

For each element:

• Select the Layer to control how the geometry is grouped in the output.

• Enable the checkbox to include the element in the export.

  Element	Description
  Contour	Defines the layer used to represent the plate boundary geometry.
  Holes	Specifies the layer used for hole geometry.
  Marking TS/BS/OS	Specifies the layers used for marking lines on the top, opposite, and bottom sides of the plate.
  Bevel TS/BS/OS	Defines the layers used for bevel geometry on the respective sides of the plate.
