After defining a product assembly, you can trigger automatic generation of the press-run layouts.
- In the Assembly view, ensure that the product is fully defined and that the product sections have a fold pattern selected. (You can also select the sections from the Products pane.)
Note: If it is only partially defined, do not use this procedure. Instead, you can manually finish defining its parts and sections and creating the press-run layouts in the Press Runs view. - Select the product in the workspace or Products list.
Note: In Preps software, version 7.0, you can set the Work Style, placement position of the imposition, and the horizontal or vertical gaps before you click Generate Press Runs. - Click Generate Press Runs.
If the press-run layouts are successfully generated, the view switches to the Press Runs view. If they fail to be generated, you can edit the settings and try again, or switch to Press Runs view and manually complete the job.
Next: In the Press Runs view, check and adjust the generated press-run layouts and trims as needed, and print the output.
