The General tab options are:

Rotation

For all systems. Use the scroll arrows to choose

 

from the list of rotation angles. For example, to

 

rotate an object 45 degrees, choose 45.

 

Note: For bar code objects, the only valid values

 

are 0 and 90 degrees.

 

After rotating an object, you may not set an absolute

 

size for that object. You may, however, use the

 

Increase Size and Decrease Size tools to change

 

the size. (See Using Increase Size and Decrease

 

Size on page 7-28)

 

 

No fill/Solid fill

These options appear on the HotShape Properties

 

General tab only. Select to set the default fill for the

 

HotShape object. The fill is the background pattern

 

inside the object. Choose:

 

No fill to leave objects transparent.

 

Solid fill to make the background inside the

 

object a solid color.

 

 

Print/Cut out

For the Color & Cut system only. Set to indicate

 

that the object is for printing or to be cut out. In the

 

Monocolor and Multicolor systems, print object is

 

the only option. See Creating Cut Out Objects on

 

page 10-3for complete information.

 

 

Cut bounding box

For the Color & Cut system only. Use to apply a

 

bounding box to a print object, so the object can be

 

cut out.

 

 

Weeding

For the Color & Cut system only. Use to apply a cut

 

around the outside of a cut text object. You can then

 

strip the waste from around the text.

 

 

Line width field

For all systems. Use to set and to view a line width

 

for a frame for a text object. The default is 0, which

 

indicates that the object is not framed. A sample of

 

the line width you select is shown next to the field.

 

See Figure 7-18 on page 7-34.
