Is it not counter intuitive to include the crop marks of an object in the transform dimensions. i.e If I create a box 200x200mm and turn on crop marks the new dimension is 238.1x238.1mm. I can understand a stroke affecting the dimensions of an object but crop marks? I'm not feeling it, I have to remove crop marks from the appearance, change size of the object then re-apply crop marks.

I would like to change the standard length of Illustrator's crop marks. (I need that because I'm exporting colorseparations for silkscreaning. An as crop marks are printed *** well I would like to keep them tiny)
View 11 Replies View RelatedI recently u[graded from a very old Illustrator version to CS6 and I noticed the crop tool is missing. It used to be really easy in the old version to drag the crop tool around the area in question and crop marks would be generated automatically. Then I could save and print just that area only. Now this tool is gone and I am having trouble with finding a way to define the area I want to save or print. When i generate crop marks and then save, all i get is a file with plenty of white around it that also shows the crop marks....
View 2 Replies View RelatedWorking on Adobe CS6..A sign maker has asked me to submit my artwork for different signs (quite a few of them, in different-sizes) as EPS with crop/trim marks.
For instance: The size of this sign is 24"x24" with a .25" bleed. The Artboard shows the right size, and the crop marks show uo as they should. But once I let go of the Artboard, no crop marks show on my screen.
Any crop mark I try adding via the Object ("Create Trim Marks") or Effect menu for crop marks, both cases would create them around the BLEEDS, rather than the REAL ARTBOARD, which, of course, defies the purpose of a crop or trim mark...
I usually submit files for production saved as PDF w/bleeds & crop marks, but this sign maker wants them as EPS.Is there a way around it, other than create those marks manually?
I am working on double sided business cards. I am using illustrator cs4. But the crop marks on one side dont align with the other. I am also using a office jet pro 8600 with duplex printing. I called HP but they said it has nothing to with the printer. They said it is the software that I am using.

I have never had to add crop marks to a file for printing. I output to a PDF at full bleed and it gets cut. Period.
Now, on a new project, it has to have the crop marks. Problem is, When I add those, I get marks like the black lines shown in each corner here. Obviously, this is NOT the cut line. The cutline should be more like the ones I have added after the fact in green.
How do I make the marks show up further in to the document (like th green lines) versus showing up at the full bleed's edge?
I've just dicovered by accident that when exporting from cdr to pdf the cropmarks in the upper right corner are placed a bit too far out (see picture). I have the latest CorelDraw version and this happens with every PDF export setting I have, regardless of the amount of crop space I choose.

Using LR 5.3.
I have created a document that will be cut to 120mm x 120mm, I wanted to include a 10mm bleed around it so I made my Photoshop doc 140mm x 140mm.
When I go to the Print dialogue I have checked "Corner Crop Marks", set the bleed to 10mm and in the preview I can see that the crop marks are inside the image, marking out the correct 120x120 area. However, when I click Print the marks appear on the paper at the 140mm x 140mm area.
Has anyone else had this error, and even more importantly, has anyone found a solution?

View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen i RMB in cfx , i have 'set context'. How to set context by manually select 1 or 2 ? i don't feel to have full control on this function. Why don't the RMB give the 'set context 1' and 'set context 2' ??? i have problem to set the context index, for example if there's already a C1 in my schematic then the next set context will put me on C2. If i want it to be C1, then i have to find first where the C1 is, then turn it off, then i can use slot1 (C1). Is there anyway i can straight to set whether i want the context to be 1 or 2 ? again it should be easily design into contextual (RMB) menu by put both option there.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI had a leaflet given to me that I agreed to edit. It was A4 in size and fold in three so the original has six faces. The owner wants to keep the design but reduce it to a single-sheet double sided one third of A4. So I just did the edits and and made the leaflet into three on a page; like this:
My question is how can I put a cut mark in the page. I am guessing that the leaflets can be cut as required. Or is that not a good thing to do and should I put them on a standard compliment slip size?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI need to recreate this dial and I've learned how to create evenly spaced tick marks within a circle, but this is an ellipse. Here, I attempted to draw two ellipse then used the scissors to cut them to size. Then I used the line tool and drew each of the tick marks. Then I adjusted the weights of each tick. This is not a good method because the end ticks are not meeting the ends of the ellipse perfectly, leaving a tiny bit of tick mark outside the ellipse. Here is what I ended up with:

View 3 Replies View RelatedI learned out to make the tick marks using copies and rotation. My question now is, how is the rotation calculated so A) I get the correct placement of the tick marks, especially the small ones as there are so many and B) how do I calculate the rotation degree so that I have the proper amount of space at the bottom of the guage/dial?
I know how to get the large tick marks and the small tick marks, if I were placing them evenly around the entire circle, I would know how to do that also - but since I'm placing them around only a portion of the circle (although still evenly) I'm lost. I can only figure out the space by hit and miss calculations and that is taking much too long. I would also need to know how much to rotate the entire thing by in order to get the open space at the bottom as shown.
So I am desinging a business card for a company I work for. The company we are sending them off too obviously needs to have the bleed and trims marks. The only thing I can't figure out is how do I make the bleed marks visible to them? When I print the document it shows me the trim marks but since I have a white background, it looks as if there is no border. Should I add a border to the actual Artboard?
