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.
