This tab is used to specify the titles and data in the title block. At the top of the tab there are buttons that can be used to add and remove a title and data or move it up or down in the list.

 

The following can be specified for each title and data:

 

Title: This it the title to be displayed in the title block. It is specified in the template and can not be changed when entering test data.

 

Title X: This is the horizontal position of the title in the template in inched or millimeters. If the title alignment is left it is the position for the start of the title, if the title alignment is center it is the position of the center of the title, and if the title alignment is right it is the position of the end of the title.

 

Title Y: This is the vertical position of the title in the template in inched or millimeters. If the title alignment is top it is the position for the top of the title, if the title alignment is center it is the position of the center of the title, and if the title alignment is bottom it is the position of the bottom of the title.

 

Show: Check this box to show the title on the template. If the box is not checked the title is not shown and is used primarily to display the data on the template. For example, to display the company name without a preceding title.

 

Title Font: When this column is selected on a button is displayed that can be clicked on to adjust the font for the title.
