Inserting Dummy Text
1. Create or activate paths (see page 7-1 and 8-1).
If you want the text to run automatically into follow-up text areas you
must activate all paths in the order of the text flow.
2. Click or select LAYER | DUMMY TEXT. The DUMMY TEXT PARAME-
TERS dialog appears.
3. Specify the parameters you want (see below).
4. Click OK to close the dialog. The dummy text appears on the layout.
Annotations
• You can insert dummy text into all closed outlines consisting of a single
path.
If a text area is defined by multiple paths (e.g. a triangle defined by
three separate lines), they must first be combined into one path using
the PATHS | EDIT | COMBINE function (see page 8-6).
It is not possible to insert dummy text into grids, text characters, or
frames of rectangles.
• Inserting dummy text into several paths at the same time creates a
dummy text layer consisting of several text areas.
These areas are linked, i.e., the actual text will later automatically
flow over to the follow-up areas.
If the paths overlap, the text areas will be placed on top of each other.
• The baseline of dummy text set into inclined or rotated rectangles is
adjusted to the baseline of the path.
The baseline is horizontal, however, if the dummy text is set into several
inclined or rotated standard paths with a different angle or into
so-called Combined Paths (page 33-1).
‘Dummy Text Parameters’ Dialog
Use this dialog to define the typography and typesetting parameters of
dummy text. You can reopen this dialog at any time in order to correct
these parameters by using the CORRECT function ( )
Area name
Any outline containing dummy text constitutes a text area. Each text
area on a layout is identified by a unique name which defaults to an ascending
number.
