6 OUTPUTTING

When outputting to the STIKA, first set the screen drawing area to match the material to be used.

To do this choose Setup > Layout. From the resulting dialog box set the Stika model and the size

of material to be used. (See Tutorial 2 page 7.) If you wish to retain your chosen layout for future

sessions, choose Setup > Set as default.

When you are ready to output, choose File > Plot. At this time the STIKA should be:

1. Connected to the computer.

2. Plugged in and switched on.

3. Correctly loaded with material, and ready to receive data.

For the STX-7, load a piece of material of a suitable size into the STIKA, and ensure that the

green light is on by pressing the button on the machine.

For the SCP-85, simply insert a piece of material of a suitable length into the STIKA (ensur-

ing first that the picture LED is off), and wait until the material has stopped feeding through.

The Plot dialog box will open in one of the two forms shown below:

Output range

The output range is normally set to All. If, however, an object or group of objects is selected when

going to output, the range is set to Selection, and if retained, only the currently selected objects will

be output. This is a very useful feature for selective outputting.
