Lettering (3-D)

3-D Standard > Standard Processings > Bore > Lettering

Use this function to apply letterings to parts. The letterings are placed into the active processing plane and are assigned to the active part.

First activate the part to which you want to apply the lettering. Call the Lettering function. If no processing plane has been chosen, HiCAD will prompt you to define one.

The Text entry punching tools window is displayed. Enter the desired text for the lettering and select the desired text formatting. Alternatively, you can also re-use existing or pre-defined texts.

The options and functions of the dialogue window are as follows:

HiCAD offers all installed HiCAD fonts and special HiCAD fonts for selection. There are proportional and non-proportional HiCAD fonts. The representation of the characters in the specified text height is scale-independent. The text height refers to the capital letters in standard text font.

If you want the lettering to also appear on the back side of the part, activate the Incl. rear side checkbox.

If you want to apply the lettering as shown in the dialogue window, exit the window with OK. Use the HiCAD point options to specify the insertion position of the lettering. If you want to rotate the lettering or change its direction before insertion, right-click and select the required function from the context menu.

Letterings can be inserted several times, i.e. the function remains active after insertion of one lettering, and HiCAD prompts you to specify the insertion position of the next lettering. Furthermore, you have the option to activate a context menu with a right-click. You can then rotate the lettering, change its insertion direction, activate another part or select another lettering.

You end the Lettering function by pressing the middle mouse button or selecting Cancel in the context menu.
