Aligning Objects
PressPrint provides an alignment option which automatically aligns two or more
selected objects. This feature is helpful if, for example, you would like to align a
Die Cut line with your label design or to align a selection of grouped label designs
to the page blank. To utilize this feature, select the objects you wish to align.
Then, select Alignment from the Layout menu, specify how you would like the
selected objects to align, and click on OK.
Creating A Die Cut
A die cut is different from a contour cut in that die cuts provide a preset cut line in
shapes such as rectangles, circles, stars, ovals, etc. PressPrint provides several die
cut shapes which can be individually customized. To create a die cut line, select
the object around which you would like to place the cut line. Then, select Die Cut
from the Cut menu. When the Die Cut Settings window appears, specify the style,
size, and other custom settings of the cut line, and click on OK. The die cut line
will automatically center in relation to the selected object.
Selecting Objects
To select an object, choose the Pointer tool and click on the edge of the object. To
select multiple objects, hold down the shift key while clicking on the edge of each
object. Another way to select one or more objects is to use the Pointer tool to click
and drag around the object or objects you would like to select. As you drag the
pointer tool, a blue outline will appear. Any object within this outline will be
selected.
Rotating Images to Maximize Space
In order to fit as many labels on a page as possible, you may sometimes wish to
rotate images so they can be placed closer together. To rotate an image, select both
the image and its cut line. Then, select Rotate from the Layout menu. The Rotate
window appears.
Enter the number of degrees you wish to rotate the image and click on the Apply
button. This will rotate the image. To close the Rotate window, click on the
button.
