Global editing: customize designs quickly

Global Editing

Optimize designs quickly

With the new global editing feature, you can select and edit several blocks of a template together. This makes it easy to optimize even complex designs with just a few clicks.

Tools

Your advantages

  • User-friendly interface

  • Intuitive and fast design
  • Clear and elegant designs

Aligning blocks

You can easily activate the text blocks, image blocks and shapes together using the selection frame or shift key and align them to the desired edge with one click.

Move and delete blocks

The selected blocks can be moved, rotated or deleted together. If one of the actions is not permitted for one or more blocks in the selection in the settings, only the controls that are available for all blocks are activated.

Change text formatting

For text blocks, you can adjust the font, font size and other font properties together. The alignment of the text blocks is based on the size of the text frame, not on the current text length. If the text frame is too large or too small for the new font, it must be adjusted manually so that the text block can be aligned correctly. Please note the "Text will be cut off" message from the editor.

Adjust color and transparency

If several blocks of the same type are activated, the color can be adjusted for text blocks and shapes and the transparency can be adjusted for all blocks. If different settings are defined in the selected blocks, only the controls that are available for all blocks are displayed.

Image tags: precise control for image blocks

Image Tags

Precise control for imageblocks

Materials such as weekly menus, event programe or campaign flyers need to be updated frequently. A printformer template can be updated by different users or teams at several locations. This increases the likelihood of human error, especially if your media database is constantly growing. The new image tag feature is part of our media asset management system that allows precise control over image blocks.

Tools

Your advantages

  • User-friendly interface

  • Intuitive and fast design
  • Clear and elegant designs

You can use the tags to determine what type of images or graphics may be placed in the image blocks. If the blocks are filled by system media, users can only use the images that have the tag defined for the block. Whether printed or digital, your marketing materials and documents will always remain uniform and elegant.

Images of product categories

To prevent the wrong images from being placed in the image blocks, you can use the tags to define image categories, even within a media set. This means that only images to which this tag is assigned can be placed in the blocks for which the tag is defined, such as only appetizers or only locations.

Pictures in landscape or portrait format

You can also use tags to define the desired image format. This prevents portrait images from ending up in a landscape image block and causing layout errors.

Logos and decorative elements

You can also use tags to define what type of graphics may be placed in the image blocks. For example, users can only use logos or only decorative elements.
