====== Manually stamping ======
----
A characteristic can be →[[en:infra-convert:user:terms#Stamp/stamps|stamped]] by text input with this function. It is required especially if the drawing file cannot be formatted in an interpretable manner (Graphic file, see →[[en:infra-convert:user:terms#Drawing data format|Drawing data format]]). The characteristic is not automatically interpreted from a drawing entry, but from the entered text, in comparison to the [[en:infra-convert:user:functions:ballooning|Automatic stamping]].
**The stamp-with-dialogue**
The stamp-with dialog allows you to specify basic characteristic properties when stamping. It is displayed at the bottom left of the drawing window when the **Stamp tool** is activated. In addition to the stamp number with prefix and suffix (1), these are the category and tag (2) as well as the general tolerance tables to be used (4). The set of selected tolerance tables can be added to a quick selection (4). Use the **Reset** button ({{:en:infra-convert:user:interface:icon_zuruecksetzen.png?nolink&15|}}) to restore the default values.

**Note** The preselection of tolerance table and stamp number via the Stamp with dialog is available from program version 4.4.0.
