Left-Center or Top-Center
Left-Center and Top-Center are used when you want to use a different starting
reference point than the center of the object to start your engraving. These two
options are most commonly used in situations when you can easily identify the
location in one axis.
Left-Center uses the left and center location as its starting reference point.
Top-Center uses the top and center location of the object as its starting reference
point.
In the example below we use both the Left-Center and the Top–Center features to
accurately mark text to the right and bottom of a pre-drilled hole. Being able to
move the carriage by hand and use the center-left and center-top features saved us
the trouble of trying to find an accurate X-Y coordinate for the pre-drilled hole.
