Post Processors - Sheet Setup
Sheet
The sheet size settings are available only when the scale type is To Sheet or To Margins, the origin type is Centre drawing on sheet or Centre drawing within margins, Tiled output is true or Reverse axes is true.
Width
Enter the width of the sheet.
Height
Enter the height of the sheet.
Margins
Left
Enter the required distance from the left edge of the sheet to the left extents of the design.
Right
Enter the required distance from the right edge of the sheet to the right extents of the design.
Top
Enter the required distance from the top edge of the sheet to the top extents of the design.
Bottom
Enter the required distance from the bottom edge of the sheet to the bottom extents of the design.
Origin
Origin
There are a number of different origin points that can be selected for the design:
- As Is
- Bottom left of drawing
- Centre drawing on sheet
- Bottom left of margins
- Centre drawing within margins
- Specify
- Bottom centre of drawing
- Top right of drawing
- Bottom right of drawing
- Centre of drawing
- Top left of drawing
- From Symbol
From the pulldown list select the required option.
X
This option is only available if the Specify origin point is selected. This gives the horizontal offset from the left side of the sheet.
Y
This option is only available if the Specify origin point is selected. This gives the vertical offset from the bottom edge of the sheet.
Angle
This option is only available if the Specify origin point is selected.
Symbol
This option is only available if From Symbol is selected. The current layer must contain exactly one instance of the chosen symbol and then the insertion point of that symbol will be used as the origin.
Mount Cutting
Style
Two sheet cutting styles can be selected:
- From the front
- From the back
From the pulldown list select the required option.
Board Thickness
Enter the thickness of the mount board.
Scale
Scale
The design can be scaled to suit one of the following options:
- As is - This will output the design to the original scale of the design.
- To sheet - This will scale the design to fit within the sheet size specified.
- To margins - This will scale the design to fit within the specified margins.
- Specify - This will enable the X and Y scaling options. This is useful for outputting different scales in the two axes for dispro' plots.
Select the required one from the pulldown list.
X
Enter the required design scale in the horizontal direction.
Y
Enter the required design scale in the vertical direction.
