Check line art by length.

This Enfocus PitStop command allows us to check whether the length of the vector elements concerned meets a condition determined by the user (being greater than, less than, equal to... etc.). If no vector has been previously selected, the check will affect all the vectors within its reach in each page.

There are two verification mehods:

  • "The length of an individual line art must be": In this case, the condition will be checked individually against any selected path or subpath (i.e. a path that is part of a composite path).
  • "The total length of the line art must be": Here, the condition is checked against all the paths. This means the sum of all the paths selected or in each page.

Warning: In both cases, what is checked is the actual length of the paths, not just their dimensions along the X and Y axes. It does not matter whether a path is closed or open.

If the chosen conditions are not met, PitStop will generate a report and the PDF will be marked as chosen in the "Log" area for further processing.

For example, if we check: "The length of an (individual) path must be less than 3 mm" and there is any path longer than that, the condition is considered to be not met.
