Introduction:  The instructions and video below show how-to display the Letter and Object lefts spacing tables in OpenRoads SignCAD.

In the File Properties under Dimensions, select Show Dimensions and Show Letter and Object Lefts. The Show Letter and Object Lefts determines how the dimensions are displayed in the table below the sign or on the panel. Unchecking Show Letter and Object Lefts removes that information from displaying on or below the sign. Select each Letter and Object Lefts Method from the drop-down menu to see the information shown. The four methods include:

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.
