When doing engraving on VFT/Orbit generators (as opposed to using a dedicated engraver):

  1. In the device configuration for the generator, the option “Append L R to ENGMASK”, on the Digital tab, should NOT be checked

  2. In the folder where the generator is configured to look for the engraving files, there must be both the .SEL files (the engraving templates) as well as a file LayoutTable.txt, which translates the ENGMASK values to the specific .SEL filename. The format of this file is:
    ENGMASK=rightfilename;Back/Front;leftfilename;Back/Front

    Example:
    PROAPER12=PROAPER12R.sel;Back;PROAPER12L.sel;Back
    PROAPER13=PROAPER13R.sel;Back;PROAPER13L.sel;Back
    PROAPER14=PROAPER14R.sel;Back;PROAPER14L.sel;Back

  3. Note that the generator can be configured to use tags other than ENGMASK; for example, it can use LDNAM. In a recent case where LDNAM was not sent from the previous LMS vendor, but is provided by Rx-Universe, the value in LDNAM took precedence over ENGMASK, resulting in template errors on the generator. Removing LDNAM from the auto-initialization string resolved that issue, forcing the generator to use ENGMASK as the lookup into the LayoutTable.
