Question:

What is the Letter and Object Lefts Method in OpenRoads SignCAD?

Answer:

The selected Letter and Object Lefts Method determines how the dimensions are displayed in the table below the sign. To access the Dimension Style dialog, pick Preferences>Drawing>Style. Check the “Letter and Object Lefts” box and select the desired Letter and Object Lefts Method: baseline values on panel, baseline values in table, widths and spaces in table, or distance between lefts in table. Press OK to both dialog boxes.

Baseline values on panel or Baseline values in table: shows the horizontal distance from the left edge of the panel to the left edge of the letters.

Widths and spaces in table: shows the width of each letter and the space between each letter.

Distance between lefts in table: shows the width of each letter including the space to its right. The last letter in each row is given with its width without the right space. The space on each end of each row is the distance from the edge of the panel to the letter or object.
