Creating print mark templates

About print mark templates

A print mark template is an .evd drawing that contains pre-positioned print marks. Applying print mark templates automates the positioning of print marks and helps you save time.

Depending on the type of object that you want to align the print marks — cutting box, sheet or dieboard — there are two approaches to positioning print marks.

To create a print mark template

1. Start a new blank drawing.
2. Consider your situation:

• To position print marks on the sheet, insert the sheet: On the Layout toolbar, click Sheet , and then select the sheet you want to work with.
• To position print marks on the dieboard, insert the dieboard you want to work with.
• To position print marks along the cutting box, draw a rectangle.

3. Apply the print mark standards that you want the template to carry.
4. Save the drawing in the dedicated directory — C:\EngViewWork7\Settings\Print Marks\Templates.

NOTE: You can create a template by modifying an existing one. To do so, (1) open a template from the directory, (2) add or remove print marks to the drawing, and then (3) save the drawing as a new file.
