help needed adding crop marks in Corel please?
Is there a simple way to do this as there is in Signlab?
I have 8 small items on a page, each with a hairline outline to show its outside size. What I want to do is apply crop marks to each item then delete this hairline, is it possible?
Many thanks,
G

Hi Gavin, not sure if this will help but to do easy crop line just publish to pdf, the crops and bleeds are there but each item as you say will have to be on a page and use the page size. You can always import them back in with the crop marks then.

Cheers Chris, I had a look and didn’t see any other way. I’ll just import it all back to signlab and get the file print ready there, seems like a lot of extra steps though!

instead of 8 items per page just do 8 pages and size each page up to suit. That way each gets a crop and bleed.
Only way I know really in Corel -

You can add them at print time from print preview as well. If you print to something to something like Cutepdf you can step and repeat, mix pages and produce a pdf for ripping in one go.

That’s a handy macro

There’s a good macro at maromonster.com as well, enables larger marks and spaces.

Nice one John! all installed and working

yeah got that working, thank you.
Slightly long winded to get to but I’ve assigned a short-cut to ‘play’ (I think this is as far as you can go?) then if all your items are the same size as in my case here, it’s quicker to just duplicate and align the crop marks instead of going back in and creating more.
A definite time saving, thanks!

It is easy to assign an icon to any macro and then drag that onto the toolbar for ‘one click’ operation. You can also assign short cut key press as Gavin has but this may get lost if you do a F8 restart. Icons on the toolbar will be saved if you save your customised workspace and can be imported afterwards.

Hi Alan, how do you assign the icon? That sounds ideal.
-
Tools – Customisation – Commands – Macros (from dropdown) – click on macro and then appearance tab on right. You can choose an icon or make one up there and OK.
Repeat only this time when you find the macro the new icon will be there and you drag that onto the toolbar. I would then save you workspace.
