Can I enter parts of the code only or do I have to enter the complete code?

 

I can enter any part in the middle of the code

I can enter the first few letters of a code and leave the rest open as wildcard

I have to enter the complete code

I can enter one code only

I have to enter the complete code if I select "exactly" (CaartWinPro 4 only)


How many codes has this headstamp?

One code - the whole headstamp inscription is one code

Two codes - the top and the bottom one are separate codes

11 codes - every letter is a code


Do we have to use blanks (space) in the headstamp?

Enter every letter as individual code

Enter F C O T B as one code with blanks in between

Enter FCOTB as one code without blanks in between


Does it matter in which direction the codes are written on a headstamp?

 

It does matter. It can make a difference. But CartWinPro will find headstamps independent from the orientation.
It does not matter. Orientation is not an issue on headstamps


What do you have to select to search for the this headstamp?

Use the numbers clockwise:
Code 1 = NATO symbol
Code 2 = IVI
Code 3 = 72

Use the numbers counter clockwise:
Code 1 = NATO symbol

Code 2 = 72
Code 3 = IVI

It does not matter which code number you use.
Code 8 = NATO symbol
Code 1 = 72
Code 5 = IVI
