Creating Barcode Objects |
To insert a barcode object in FTDesign:
- Choose Barcode from the
Insert menu or click the Barcode
tool button on the toolbar. The cursor
changes to a cross-hair pointer.
- Click and drag the mouse diagonally to add the
barcode frame.
- Release the mouse button and the Barcode
dialog box will open.
- On the Definition tab
- Symbology - select the
appropriate barcode encoding method from the
Symbology menu.
- Text - enter the desired
barcode value into the Text
box. Click the Link selection
or Link all button to
define a
variable text object.
- On the Format tab, set the
attributes of the constant barcode object:
- Text location - the value
of the barcode can be hidden, or appear above or
below the barcode.
- Rotated - check the Rotated
box for the barcode to be rotated 90 degrees.
- On the Position tab, set the
position of the constant barcode object. Enter a
value in Left, for the object's
offset from left value and Top, for
the object's offset from top value.
- On the Font tab, set the
attributes of the font used for the constant barcode
object:
- Name - select the font
type.
- Style - font can be
Regular, Bold, Italic or Bold Italic.
- Size - select the size of
the font.
- Underline - check the
Underline box for the text to be underlined.
- Orientation - orientation
of the text relative to the page.
- Color - select the color of
the text.
To change the size of the selected barcode object:
- Select the handles and drag to size. The width
of the barcode “jumps” from size to size as
additional increments are added to all bars and
spaces. The height handles move smoothly as the
height is increased or reduced.
