Q: Can I make Metrix automatically select a marks master when exporting a Preps template?
A:Yes. If the Select Marks Master user preference (available from User Preferences in the Settings menu) is set to "Auto", Metrix looks in the last selected marks master folder for a specific marks master file, based upon the project's press, sheet size, and printing method.
To create marks masters that will automatically be selected in this manner, name each marks master file per the following convention: pressName_sheetHeight_x_sheetWidth_printingMethod.tpl where each italicized word should be replaced with the relevant value. Press Name Metrix uses the name of the press used for side 1
of the layout. However, in Metrix press names can include characters
that are not valid for use in file names, such as the following:
\ / : * ? " < > | Sheet Height and Sheet Width Metrix uses the height and width of the sheet in either millimeters or decimal inches (not fractional inches), depending on the current unit. Printing Method Metrix recognizes the following values for each printing method: 'SHEETWISE', 'WORK_TURN', 'WORK_TUMBLE', 'ONE_SIDED', or 'PERFECTED'. Some Examples
Operation When the Export dialog opens, if the Select Marks Master user preference has been set to "Auto", Metrix calculates the relevant file name for the current project, as explained above, and displays the file name in the Marks Master field. Metrix also checks if the file exists in the last selected marks master folder and indicates to the user if it does not, giving the user the opportunity to build the library of marks masters on the fly.
