Fold and Perforation Guides:
The following options act as visual guides while designing your scorecards. They are only displayed during the design and not when printed.
Display Vertical Fold Line: This line defines the vertical center of the scorecard. If you fold the scorecard in half left to right, this will be the fold line. In general, 18-hole scorecards are folded in between the back 9 and front 9. This guide will help ensure a folded scorecard will evenly separate the front 9 and back 9.
Display Grid Lines: To ensure certain objects are lined up correctly on the scorecard, you can display the grid lines on the scorecard.
Display Perforation Line: This line defines the horizontal center of the paper. This is typically used to show where the perforation will be in cases where two scorecards are printed per page.
