b Memo:
• When entering points, you can switch
between the various tools. This is very easy
if the shortcut keys are used.
• A template image is needed in order to use
the semi-automatic block-type punch tool. If
there is no image, this tool will create a
punching pattern like the straight block-type
punch tool. In addition, this tool cannot be
used if a TrueType font is used as the
template.
• Once the pattern is drawn, you can still
transform straight block-type patterns into
curved block-type patterns and vice versa.
