Angle sets for HPS

[tony.pratt@bpc.com]

Hello,

I have a fast question I am hoping someone can help me with.

We have adopted a custom set of screen angles of:

Cyan at 105 degrees
Magenta at 75 degrees
Yellow at 30 degrees
Black at 45 degrees

How could I go about making this custom angle set of 105, 75, 30, 45 available in the 'Optimize for angle set:' pulldown menu located in the 'Harlequin Precision Screening Options' dialog box?

Is there a configuration file I can edit or something of this type?

Hi Tony,

You can't modify the UI, but you can write a Page Feature that does what you want. Put the following into a file in the "SW/Page Features" folder and then select it in your Page Setup. You might need to subtract 90 from the 105, but I can't remember exactly on that one - I've not tested it, but it should work subject to that.

%end of !HMR

Andy.

I currently have a Page Feature selected which renames my plate files. Is there a way to select multiple features or combine the two?

page features can be combined, but you need to be careful.

If your existing feature starts with << and ends with >> you would put them together with a << at the beginning and a >> at the end.

If your existing feature ends with "exitserver" you'd need to put them in separate but consequtive, so to speak, exitserver end line << etc.

In most cases combining will work, but the syntax is important.
