Building Platform
The work platform of the selected printer is represented in the right part of the multifile printing view. The designs from the print queue are represented in different colors:
Gray: Not on the work platform
Green: No errors on the work platform
Red: Not entirely on the work platform/overlap with another design on the work platform
Yellow: two objects too close to one another
The intensity of the colors changes depending on whether or not a design is selected.
You can select a design and manually position it on the work platform by double-clicking on a design.
The Arrange button in the dialogue box opens another dialogue box where you can automatically arrange the designs on the work platform.
The system will generate a suggestion that utilizes the work platform as efficiently as possible. This suggestion can be accepted, or the dialogue box can be closed without changes.
Information will also indicate that not all designs can be arranged on the work platform.
The settings for positions X, Y, and rotation can also be used to set the position parameters for the selected design manually.
