Parts
Numerical data display, character display and table data display parts can be placed in the same
manner that they are placed on the screen.
Drawing
Except for the following, the drawing tools can be used in the same manner as used on the screen.
Offset position setting
Every data block has a reference position called an offset.
A registered data block is always placed on the screen with respect to the offset position.
An offset position on the data block is shown with an “OFF” mark.
Changing an offset position
Every data block has an offset position at coordinates X, Y (0, 0) as default. To change the position,
follow the procedure below.
1. Click the [Offset] icon on the drawing toolbar.
2. A cross-shaped cursor marked with “OFF” appears.
3. Click the mouse in an arbitrary position on the screen. The offset mark is displayed at that
location.
