You can configure and set preferences for controlling stock, sections placement, and PDF files that appear in the stock.
In Mac OS: Select Preps > Preferences > Stock.
In Microsoft Windows: Select Edit > Preferences > Stock.
Sections Position in Stock
Allows you to control the placement of your sections when you build press runs. When you select one of the nine control points, combined with the Top, Right, Bottom, and Left options, you can define where you want the sections placed on the stock.
Note: The values entered in the control point fields Top, Right, Bottom, and Left options are absolute.
Auto Divide and PDF Trim Size
Auto Divide Stock as Fold Patterns are added
Enables you to define how a new stock resource Variable Sheet Size reacts. You can drag a fold pattern to the Press Run workspace where the variable sheet auto sizes to the new fold pattern. When you add another fold pattern of the same (or different) configuration, the variable sheet grows and splits horizontally or vertically according to the selected placement.
Note: This split is displaced with a horizontal or vertical rule. If the rule is not visible, make sure that Rulers are activate (Command/Control+R). Auto Divide is only able to divide the stock into logical, equal sections. You cannot combine or remove divided sections. For example, a Dutch cut layout that has two fold patterns on the bottom and one centered across the top, is 90° of the first two positions.
Auto Apply PDF TrimSize
Lets you add a PDF file to the Press Run workspace. You can drag it on top of an existing fold pattern to have the PDF's TrimSize become the defining value for the width and height of the Fold Pattern.
Note: This is a similar feature that is available with step-and-repeat of ganging workflows where the auto adjustment makes it easier to go from a planned solution to a print solution.
