4.134. How do I price engraved items with multiple lines of text?

I am trying to use Estimate to quote on engraved phenolics for electrical companies. The Average size for most engravings is 1 inch x 3 inch. I tried using linear/square inch option but that does not seem to take into consideration the number of lines of text being engraved. Is there a way to price small engravings with multiple lines of text?

The answer is to use linear square items but roll a
per engraved line price into the cost of the item being engraved. Subsequently you would then create several linear/square item database enteries one for the
phenolic with 1 line of text and others for two or more lines respectively.
Hence a description in the linear/square items database might read:
1 x 3 Phenolic 1 line engraved
1x 3 Phenolic 2 lines engraved
1 x 3 Phenolic 3 lines engraved

More enhancements are coming in respect to engraving in the EstiMate enviornment but for the moment this is how this process would be done.
