The orientation you choose depends on the effect you
want to achieve. You need to digitize different
reference points depending on the type selected.
Options include:
Horizontal: See Creating horizontal orientations for
details.
Vertical: See Creating vertical orientations for details.
Any Shape: See Creating custom orientations for
details.
Circle CCW: See Creating circular orientations for
details.
Circle CW: See Creating circular orientations for
details.
Note If you are using the JANOME Digitizer MB
product level, another baseline option is available –
Fixed Line. See Creating fixed-length horizontal
orientations for details.
4 Click
OK.
Creating horizontal orientations
Free Line baselines are straight, horizontal
baselines. Free Line does not have a fixed or
pre-determined length – the baseline extends as
long as you keep adding letters.
To create a horizontal orientation
1 Create a new lettering object. See Creating embroidery
lettering for details.
2 Select Free Line as the orientation.
3 Click
OK and click on-screen to establish the start-point
of the baseline.
Try this! You can adjust orientation settings at any
stage. See Adjusting orientations for details.
Creating fixed-length horizontal
orientations
Both Free Line and Fixed Line baselines form
straight, horizontal orientations. However, Fixed
Line – available only in JANOME Digitizer MB – has
a fixed length which you can digitize on-screen or
specify numerically. If the text extends beyond the
baseline, lettering size and/or spacing is reduced
according to the chosen reduction method.
Note The Fixed Line option is specifically
intended for cap production, supported by the
MB-4 machine. See also Changing letter
sequencing.
To create a fixed-length horizontal
orientation
1 Create a new lettering object. See Creating embroidery
lettering for details.
2 Select Fixed Line as the orientation.
3 Adjust the baseline length in the Fixed Length field as
required.
