Is the “Advance by” area in the variable text serial number suppose to increment numbers when they are cut. For example I entered 1 in the “Start”, 0 in the “Current”, 999 in the “End” and 3 in the “Advanced by”
I assumed that the program would output variable text 1, 3, 6, 9 etc. However the program outputted 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.
“Advance By” is how much to advance each page when you click next or previous to run the next page of your job. Each text object has a value on it called “offset” which is the offset from the ‘Current’ value in the Variable Text window.
Your text objects have offsets of 0, 1, 2, 3, … up to 9.
If you click the Next button, they’ll now show:
4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 (because everything gets incremented by 3)
The documentation covers all of this here: https://github.com/LightBurnSoftware/Documentation/blob/master/VariableText.md
Thanks, I now understand how it works.
