Memo:
• When entering points, you can switch 
between the various tools. This is very easy 
if the shortcut keys are used.
• A template image is needed in order to use 
the semi-automatic block-type punch tool. If 
there is no image, this tool will create a 
punching pattern like the straight block-type 
punch tool. In addition, this tool cannot be 
used if a TrueType font is used as the 
template.
• Once the pattern is drawn, you can still 
transform straight block-type patterns into 
curved block-type patterns and vice versa.
