Enabling/Disabling text collision avoidance

You can change whether individual text objects automatically move to avoid collisions, independently of your project-wide setting. Text objects with collision avoidance disabled do not contribute to automatic staff spacing calculations.

Note

This does not apply to text in text frames.

1. In Engrave mode, select the text objects whose collision avoidance you want to enable/disable.
2. In the Properties panel, activate Avoid collisions in the Text group.
3. Activate/Deactivate the corresponding checkbox.

Result

The selected text objects avoid collisions when the checkbox is activated, and do not avoid collisions when the checkbox is deactivated.

When the property is deactivated, text objects follow your project-wide setting for text collision avoidance.

Tip

You can enable/disable text collision avoidance for all text objects project-wide on the Text page in Engrave > Engraving Options.
