PDS:Stack Point

From OptiTexHelpEn
Jump to: navigation, search

Use the Stack Point command to align all graded pieces to a reference point on either the X or Y axis. This command can also be applied to an internal point or button. The Grading software calculates the relative distance for each point and moves the grading of all the pieces accordingly. Patterns may be left as they are in their new position as you continue to grade. To return to the initial position, show the baseline and re-stack the grading to the baseline; or simply use Stack By Baseline.
