3-1 Software Interface

This chapter introduces the software features and demonstrates the 4 creation techniques, including Beam Studio creation, importing work files, Trace Image, as well as mass production, and concludes with formatting instructions. Available for Beam Studio 2.2.X.

The software interface can be divided into 5 sections

A： Toolbar
 B： Layer and object management
 C： Parameter Settings
 D： Working Interface
 E： Menu

A： Toolbar

1. Select the name of the machine you want to connect.
 
 2. Running Frame: Preview the work scope of the task.
3. Path Preview: Preview the simulated work path before sending the task. 4. Deliver the task.
  

B： Layer and object management

Layer management and object management. Object management not only covers the functions shared by pictures, text, and drawing objects but also has its own adjustable OPTIONS and ACTIONS. The introductions are as below.

Layer management：

Object management：  shared functions for pictures, text, and drawing objects.

OPTIONS：

： Infill of Pen： When the pen path is a closed vector graphics, the Infill function can be performed.
Infill of Multiple Objects： When the selected objects do not contain an image and there are more than 2 drawn closed vector graphics, you can select multiple objects at the same time and perform the Infill function.
Delete Multiple Objects at the same time： Delete after selecting multiple objects.
Path Infill of Text on Path： When the path of Text on Path is a closed vector graphics, Path Infill can be performed.

*： Size of Text on Path： The size of the text of “Text on Path” can only be adjusted by setting a size value but not dragging the control points on the corners of the text bounding.

ACTIONS：

： Trace of Image： Only binary images can be converted to vector paths (one at a time). Grayscale images are not allowed to do Trace.

： Offset of Multiple Objects： When the selected objects do not contain an image or a Text, and there are more than 2 drawn objects, you can select multiple objects at the same time and perform the Offset function.
 Text on Path of Multiple Objects： When a text and a path, Image or Text excluded, are selected at the same time, Create Text on Path can be performed.
