Changing the padding around text objects

You can change the padding around text objects individually, and for each edge independently. This affects the distance between text and erased backgrounds and borders.

Prerequisite

Graphic Editing is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

Procedure

  1. In Engrave mode, select the text objects whose padding you want to change.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate the Erasure padding properties, individually or together, in the Text group.

    • L changes the padding between text objects and their left edge.

    • R changes the padding between text objects and their right edge.

    • T changes the padding between text objects and their top edge.

    • B changes the padding between text objects and their bottom edge.

  3. Change the values in the value fields for the edges whose padding you want to change.

Result

The padding around the selected text objects is changed. Increasing the values increases the padding, decreasing the values decreases the padding.

Tip

You can change the default padding of all text objects project-wide on the Text page in Engrave > Engraving Options. However, this does not allow you to change the padding of each edge independently.
