CorelDRAW X6 :: Imposition Layout Tool - How To Print 4x1
Mar 11, 2013

I have been using X3 for a long time and have had a way of printing some badges whereby I went to ‘Print’ and then to ‘Preview’ and then clicked on the ‘Imposition layout tool’ icon and then set the page to however many I wanted on a page as in the picture. I need to print 4x1. However, in X6, it doesn't give me that option. I go to ‘Print’ and click on the ‘Layout’ tab and then there are some defaults in the ‘Imposition layout’ drop down menu as in the second picture but there’s no option for 4x1.
I am going to be printing some raffle tickets. I need them to be numbered sequentially. I have found out how to do the numbering using the printmerge function.
I am going to be doing 8 up. Seems like the easiest way is to design one ticket, then use the print merge feature, and then use the layout imposition tool. However, I would like to have a light colored watermark behind all the tickets.
To make this simple to understand (hopefully) lets just say I want the word "TICKET" repeated over and over again horizontally and vertically untill it covers the whole page.
Of course if I was going to hand number these I would simply design an 8 up print and then put the TICKET watermark behind it no problem.
I could simply crop the watermark and place it in the single 1 up design, and then use print merge and layout imposition, but then the pattern would be exactly the same on all tickets and I would have to cut them in exactly the right place. Whereas if I did 8 up, I wouldn't have this problem.
I have a book of 240 pages, which I need to print in sections of 16pp. But over two sheets - so not just one... How I can set this to be correctly imposed? I need two sheet with 4 pages up, double sided, one folded within the other so the order of pages is as follows:
Sheet 1 - pp. 1, 16, 8, 9
sheet 2 (back of 1) - pp 15, 2,10, 7
sheet 3 - pp 11, 6, 14, 3
sheet 4 (back of 2) - pp 5, 12, 4, 13
I know that I will have to send the sections separately - I.e. pp 1 - 16 = first section, pp 17 - 32 = second section etc... but how can I see the two sheets, how can I change the page numbers ?
I have tried to choose from presets of layouts - the book is to be prefect bound, but there is not an option for it - or not an obvious one I can see...
since i upgraded to X6 i cannot do imposition anymore, using print merge.
Before i set a page with lets say A5 with the layout, and then in the print merge, i would put 4up (four A5), and it went well, using (collate and cut as well).
Now look at my attached file, the first page stays different size.
trying to figure out a way to use imposition to merge images from multiple pages on to a single page while maintaining a constant element (title block) on the page.
1. Creating a drawing of a sign for client proof/approval
2. Use print merge to create duplicates of that sign on separate pages with the varying messages
3. Use imposition to cluster several signs from the separate pages I now have on to a single page
4. (Problem Step) Figure out how to maintain a title block on my page of now clustered signs
I'm going to attempt to post an image of the page style I want with the title block. What I'd like is what is shown here only with some way to automate it so I can have multiple versions of that sign show up on this same page.
Any solutions to automate file imposition and creating custom printer marks in CorelDraw. In addition to some of the standard kinds of marks (crop marks, registration marks, etc.), we also use a variety of custom marks we currently have to create and manually place in our output files (marks needed for our Zund G3 M-2500 digital flatbed cutter, etc.)
I'm seeing some sort of plugin for CorelDraw that automates file imposition and adding printer marks (including the addition of custom marks that we could create and tell it to include along with some parameters -how far from the edge of the document, etc.)
I have a template with layouts of different sizes that had been working fine with a previous Xerox 6204. My D size and E size automatically oriented with the 36" side parallel to the roll feed. I have since moved to a job that got a Designjet T2300. On this machine the D size orients the 24" side parallel. This wastes 1' of paper on the left and uses 1' extra as it runs the 36" side perpendicular. I have been unable to rectify the problem. I have tried printing in portrait, that actually cut off some of the image. I have tried all types of rotation within the driver and layouts. Tech support had me going into the machine settings and set rotation to 90. Nothing. There is a warning that "HP utilities" is not installed. Could this be a remedy? When the tech came to set up the printer he installed the necessary drivers but mad no mention of this utility.
I’ve done it before in the past so I know its possible but I have forgotten how. See the attached image I would like to change the printable area of my paper space layout.
Epson 3880. Lightroom 4. Moutain Lion. All current.
I am trying to print on 5x7 paper. I set the page setup to 5x7. I have the margins set to .2" on each side. The layout image inside Lr looks exactly how I want it to.Then I print. I end up with a .125" margin on the left and top, and a .625" margin on the right and bottom.
I am ready to print my stuff. But I have to manually use the pick tool in the print preview window to move my pages around so that they will print the stuff in the center of the pages.
I do my print run. And then save the "Print style".
Come back the next day and I have to re-do all the adjusting of the work again so that it all gets printed. I would have thought that saving a print style would make it so that next time everything is the same as before.
I just installed PSP 4. I use print layout templates in my photo business. I have 115 layout templates that I backed up from PSP 3. When I copied the print layout templates into PSP4 the Print Layout templates interface crashed including the Averys.
Scale in Layout. I drew my drawing in mm , and I want to use Layout to print it like I saw in a video, but how do I scale my drawing? For example, the counter and shelf I drew is 1:1 in the Model workspace(1600 by 2000mm) but in Layout, for printing on to an A3 sized paper how do I get it to print in 1:40 or something of that sort?
Right now I'm printing by using Fit To Paper with the dimensions included, but I notice our contractors are using 1:30, 1:40 etc. , my boss doesn't mind since I include the dimensions but I reckon it might cause problems in the future.
And is it possible to just select anything in my selection window, even 3/4 of a line? Because right now, I can only select the whole line no matter what, I only want 1/2 of it because I want to cut the whole drawing in half and move it apart.
By the way, is it possible to customize the panel? Instead of switching between tabs constantly, can I make my own panel? I googled this and tried using CUI but it is confusing. I just want certain sections grouped into 1 bar. Like... Draw/Modify/Attach/Windows all on the first panel.
I really want to be able to type in certain commands without hitting Enter, is that possible? If I hit M, it will move the object without me hitting Enter. Can that be done? Maybe not M, maybe Alt+1 to move, Alt+2 to Scale etc. etc.
I created a photo with text in CS6 and imported it into LR 4.4 as a jpg but the black border on the left and right does not show, only the top and bottom? I need the overall image to be landscape 9.45 W by 7.45 T to fit into a specific presentation folder.
In my version of X6 32-bit, there is a problem with the icons in Print Layout, they're not the normal icons, but one's used when tying as script to an icon.
I have re-set X6, using the Shift key method, but the problem is still there. I can use the menus and print, but those icons don't belong there.
I have an A4 peice of paper and need to change the scale of my drawing so it fits onto the page. I remember there was a short cut, but have since forgotten it.
It is currently at 1:1 and want to change that to a more appropriate scale.
I want to print multiple drawing in a single layout (see picture) . It is possible in autocad to setup printing once? For example: One project contains 100 A3 drawing, one layout contains 20 A3 drawing. Up to now, i print to pdf separately, and i combined the 100 pdf in one file.
And i print from this file. (only in this way succeed to print collating multiple copies). But if the project changes, I could start all over again. Is there a solution to publish an combining the sheets to print immediately?
My issue is this: While trying to print or pdf a drawing in (lets say 8.5x11) layout view, the edges get cut off. It looks as though the template I copied is too large to be printed in full. If this were the case, wouldn't it be the same even if I tried printing in extents? It still does the same thing printing in extents.
How to get only part of the drawing to show up to print. I've drawn a floor plan and have copied it several times. I have also drawn several patterns that represent a few different floor tile layouts and then put them over each floor plan and after some trimming I have a variety of options that someone can choose from for floor tile layout. I'd like to show each one on a separate sheet and of course when I go to layout the whole drawing comes over and how to only show one floor plan at a time.
I tried to print the layout from autocad, the autocad will freeze and it will prompt out the AutoCAD Application error message as the attachment below. Once click on "cancel", the application will shut down itself.
*The printer is HP LaserJet P5225.
*Other program like Revit, MS Word and etc still able to print well.
*Computer spec: Windows 7-64bit, 12 GB RAM, Xeon processor.
*Installed with the HP original driver from original disc that given
I'm trying to print 2 notecards per sheet of paper (8.5 x 11) Ii created a template that is the actual size of the paper, with 4 quadrants. I created the front of the card image in the actual size of the quadrant,and I set printer to actual size (8.5 x 11). yet when i print it out it is not right to cut and fold. what kind of adjustments to do i need to make to get it to line up. Also when I move the card image into the quadrant it seems like it is not longer the full size of the quadrant. Even when I move it or adjust the image so it looks centered it doesn't work. also in the print window at the bottam i unselect centered and adjust the top and left numbers, but in the preview i see that it is not filling the page.
I have PSE 10. I'm trying to change a layout to customize my output. I'm the admin but I get the following error when trying to save a change. "You don't have permission to save in this location. Contact your admin for permission". I checked the file properties and the only box not checked is the special permissions which is grayed out. I see info saying this is how you modify the layouts but not sure why mine isn't accepting.
Is there anyway to bring up a the printer dialogue box or tell the printer I need more than 1 print of the layout? It's time consuming to hit that printer button x number of times. I just had to print 50 pages of the same layout today and it would be so much easier to let the printer print the 50 copies instead of sending 1 page 50 times to the printer.
Many times when I receive a drawing from an architect, when I go into the layout tab the titleblock info/XREF doesn't line up with the page layout. I would assume it lined up when the architect sent it to me in his software. For years the solution I use is to XREF the architects PDF in the layout and then go to print and change the Print Offset till it looked right in the print preview. Then I would apply it to the layout. I would then take the offsets and apply it to every sheet. This is a very time consuming process and was wondering if there is a better way to make this work and still keep the scales. I was also wondering if there was a way to move and align the layout on the fly in the paperspace.
Using elements 12 on win7 --been using quite happily for several weeks but now want to print cd label--but cannot get past a basic theme layout ---actually only want a blank label as start point . Have i missed installing something from the download?
