Changing the size of flared ends on hairpins

You can change the height and width of flared ends on individual hairpins. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only, or for all layouts and frame chains.

Prerequisite

  • The lower zone is shown.

  • Properties is selected in the lower zone toolbar.

  • You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.

Procedure

  1. In Engrave mode, select the flared hairpins whose flare size you want to change.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Flare size in the Dynamics group.
  3. Change the flare size of the selected hairpins in any of the following ways:

    • To change the width of the flared ends, change the value for W.

    • To change the height of the flared ends, change the value for H.

Result

The size of the flared ends on the selected hairpins is changed. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.

  • Increasing the W value makes the selected flared ends wider by starting their angle earlier in the hairpin, decreasing the value makes the selected flared ends narrower.

  • Increasing the H value makes the selected flared ends taller, decreasing the value makes them shorter.

  • Changing the values independently of each other changes the angle of the flared ends. For example, increasing the W value without changing the H value makes the angle shallower.
