MaxMotion for Machines Chapter 9-143

There are three ways to bring the graphics, logos, and clip arts into

MaxMotion for engraving.

(1) One is to go into File menu and select Open. If a file is saved

previously in the MaxMotion native format and if it includes graphics,

the action brings in graphics as graphics.

(2) If the graphic was created in other programs like Corel on PC or

Illustrator on Macintosh and if it is available in PostScript or DXF

formats, it will be imported in its original size, it will be centered to the

plate, and each shape in the graphic will be an individual unit and to

move them together, you need to select them all carefully. This graphics

can be scaled. You can apply tool offsets as well as fill routines.

(3) However, Insert Graphics is third way to bring in the clip arts that

can be aligned with text and composed. The inserted graphic is treated

as one complete unit or one complete line. You can grab the clip art

with the arrow tool and move it as one complete unit.

Note the important distinction between import and insert graphics.

Imported graphic will always be positioned at the center of the plate

and will keep its original dimensions. Inserted graphic will be posi-

tioned at the intended line and will be scaled to the selected line height.

View Paths (F8)

View paths allows you to unfill the text characters and observe the

paths that the machine will follow without converting the text to the

paths. This flexibility allows you to view paths but at the same time

preserve the job as text so that it can be saved and later on can be edited

easily where the functions such as font change, size, alignment, and

kerning can be applied.
