Style and Standard Editor - Mark Style Reference

Sets the formatting and export attributes for mark styles.

What's New: 2023

Use the Mark feature to create content, define placement, and other characteristics for laser marking, etching, or engraving.

Each Mark Style is mapped to an exported Mark layer. The Layer properties in the Export dialog box are based on the Mark style.

Important: If you are using custom styles created prior to R2023, the Mark style file mark.xml must exist in the Design Data folder in order to use the Mark command. An error is displayed if the Mark style does not exist. You can copy the file from the installed Design Data folder to the current Design Data folder.
