Hello out there. I am Kent in Colorado, using ES45 v10.
I've noticed that the lettering properties that I save are
not always preserved. That is, I will set and save some
lettering properties, then work on other things for a while
and when I go to make another lettering object the properties
are not what I previously saved. Doesn't always happen,
and I cannot reliably reproduce it (yet).
Anyone else notice this?
I appreciate any thoughts. Thanks.

I right click the A(lphabet) icon, set the fill type and density, etc.,
click save and save to lettering objects. It then says that it will
update the template. Then, later, I will left click the A icon, type
in my letters and create them. And later notice that the fill type,
u-lay, etc. are not what I previously saved.
It's a pain always having to re-check my saved properties.
(I used v9 for several years and never noticed this.)
Any ideas? |

Sorry, no ideas yet, but I tried several times your steps and the settings where saved, also after a restart of ES 2006. Probably we do something different. I am not yet sure whether the process is influence when the A-button is highlighted when filling in the values.
When not input method is highlighted and the values are filled in also in different categories, like density and underlay it works for me. When button A is highlighted I only can fill in one value and I can't leave that box when I want this value to be saved.
Thanks for asking this question, I learned a lot, never got it managed to assign different underlay types for different input methods :-)

Barbara thanks for your input. I did figure out how to reproduce this.
set and save the lettering properties (ie: satin stitch, auto adjust at 80%, center run u-lay
at 2mm, and .2mm pull comp.) type in some word and create it.
now, in the same file, create a complex fill shape and set the properties different than the letters
(ie: tatami stitch, density .4, first u-lay edge run, second u-lay tatami) and create the shape.
now, still in the same file, go to create another lettering object. what properties is it assigned?
I get the complex fill tatami properties instead of my saved lettering properties.
If I repeat these steps using seperate files for the lettering and complex fill shape,
then the lettering properties are usually preserved. I've tried this with several different
input types and properties and I get all kinds of weird results.
Give this a try if you want and let me know if you get the same things as I do. |

Hello again,
I tried your steps exactly one by one and that three times and here it works has you want it to work, no weird results at all.
Open new design window by clicking the icon
no tool is assigned, the fills property window is open
select Satin and change from 100% to 80%
select underlay window, select center
select pull comp window, changed from 0.17 to 0.2, checkbox checked
hit save on the bottom of the window
hit A, left click on screen, typed word, enter, G - above settings are applied
Escape
select complex fill
set Tatami to 0,41,
selected underlay window, chaned from center to Tatami 3,00 spacing 5.00 mm length
select pull comp window, change from .20 to .16
hit save button on the bottom of the window
saved to objects, hit ok
created complex object
right-click on A, typed word in lettering window, hit create button, left-click on screen, enter,G
the lettering properties are applied.
Shut down ES and loaded again, it still worked as expected, nothing to complain.
I don't have any explanation other than we probably do something different somewhere and don't notice the difference.

Barbara thanks for the detailed reply. I tried your steps
and it works correctly. I was doing something different.
When creating the second lettering object, I would left
click the A icon (in my mind to select it) and then right
click on it to set the properties. That's when I notice
my anomoly. If I just right click the A icon, then the
lettering properties are preserved correctly.
This was an interesting one. Thanks again for your input.
Cheers. |
