Print Plate Mark (x) on (x) Side of Frame - controls activation and location of the Mark, configured in the Mark tab. Unticking results in no mark being printed on the element. Once ticked, you can also choose on which side of the element Mark should be printed on in relation to how they are placed on the table:
Left - side facing the table (BVX reference side 3).
Right - side perpendicular to the side facing the table (BVX reference side 1).
Inner - side facing the fence (BVX reference side 4).
Outer (default) - perpendicular to the side facing the fence (BVX reference side 2).
Print Plate Position Mark (x) on Connected Element (x) Side of Frame - controls activation and location of Position Mark, configured in Position Mark tab. Unticking results in no mark being printed. Once ticked, the option will print the mark of the plate elements onto other connected elements. You can also choose which side of the element Mark should be printed on in relation to how they are placed on the table:
Left - side facing the table (BVX reference side 3).
Right - side perpendicular to the side facing the table (BVX reference side 1).
Inner - side facing the fence (BVX reference side 4).
Outer (default) - perpendicular to the side facing the fence (BVX reference side 2).
Connected - line will be places on connected element on the side where two elements meet.
The marks will be aligned with the edge closer to where the connected element is.
Currently only Outer option is functioning correctly. Other options will still result in Outer option being chosen. Please contact our support for more info. No position marks will be placed if Width Orientation is chosen to be Fence Side in Export Settings.

Here are the options to help you configure mark by combining different parameters together:
Available Parameters ( 1 ) - lets you choose available valid parameters to form your mark from.
Mark = ( 2 ) - here you can see parameters currently selected to be used to combine mark from.

Right - side perpendicular to the side facing the table (BVX reference side 1).
Inner - side facing the fence (BVX reference side 4).
Outer (default) - perpendicular to the side facing the fence (BVX reference side 2).
Print Stud Position Mark (x) on Connected Element (x) Side of Frame -
controls activation and location of Position Mark, configured in Position Mark tab. Unticking results in no mark being printed. Once ticked, the option will print the mark of the stud elements onto other connected elements. You can also choose which side of the element Mark should be printed on in relation to how they are placed on the table:
Left - side facing the table (BVX reference side 3).
Right - side perpendicular to the side facing the table (BVX reference side 1).
Inner - side facing the fence (BVX reference side 4).
Outer (default) - perpendicular to the side facing the fence (BVX reference side 2).
