Create a Sheet Layout Design

 

The Sheet Layout Designer allows the user to design how they want the labels to be output on a sheet or bitmap.

 

To create a Sheet Layout, open the Sheet Layout Designer under the 'Tools' 'RCIM Labeling' menu.

 

When the flyout menu appears, select 'Sheet Layout Designer'

 

Note: If creating labels for a sheet template, the size of the label must match exactly to the label size determined by the Sheet Layout.

 

The designer has two main controls: The Layout Template selection and the template preview.

 

The template selection window allows the user to see existing templates and to edit them.

 New Button- launches the create template window

 Edit Button – allows you to edit an existing config

 Delete button – allows you to delete an existing

 

The template preview shows what the template looks like when the user selects it.
