Multiple crop areas?
|
|
|
| It seems that Illustrator allows only 1 cropping area. I'm printing a
page with multiple business cards on it. Each card is inside a
rectangle. I can just draw multiple lines as cropping guides but wonder
if there is a simpler way?
Thanks,
liu

What do you mean by "cropping guides".......my guess is you
mean "Trim Marks" to cut them out?
Depending what your Illustrator version is.
a. If you draw a rectangle, Object > Crop Marks makes Crop Marks
b. Filter > Create > Trim Marks makes........duh
That is version 10.

This works perfectly. Object > Crop Area > Make allows only one.
Thank you so much for the help,

Trim marks != crop marks... at least not in illustrator.

Nope, I wanted to make that clear in the last one.
For the OP: making crop marks result in marks you cannot
select and will not print. I assume they are meant for
export to other software or the web.,
Trim marks will print, to be able to trim the design to the
measurements you need.
