Advanced Features

This section gives an overview of some of the advanced features for stationary printing.

Layering Fields

Allows you to layer fields on a project. Example: If you have several images on your project and you are overlapping them to create a collage, you can use these buttons to bring photos forward and back, allowing you to edit them.

  • Bring Forward: allows you to click an item and bring it one place forward.

  • Bring to Front: allows you to click an item and bring it to the front.

  • Send Backwards: allows you to click an item and bring it one place back.

  • Send to Back: allows you to click an item and bring it to the back.

Locking Fields

If there are fields you want locked in a certain position, this feature will not allow you to edit the item going forward. For example, if you have a frame with a picture and you do not want to be able to move it around, click the Frame and then the lock button.

To unlock, click the frame and then the arrow on the right side of the Elements Tool menu. Uncheck the box for “Freeze Locked Elements?”.

Removing Lines from Register Book Pages

Many register book pages contain lines for the fillable text to sit on. By default, these lines are 'locked' to the page, so that it's easy to move and adjust the text on them without worrying about moving the line as well. 

If you prefer not to have the lines at all, there is an option to turn them off. This will need to be done on each page that has lines. 

  1. From the top menu Element Tools, click the small arrow at the far right. \

  2. From the Element Arrangement Tools section, uncheck the box "Show Lines?"

  3. Repeat for each page that contains lines.

If you are adjusting the layout or removing fields on a page, you may wish to remove or move the existing lines in the template. 

  1. From the top menu Element Tools, click the small arrow at the far right. 

  2. From the Element Arrangement Tools section, uncheck the box "Freeze Locked Elements?". This will unlock the lines and allow you to move or remove them.

  3. Click on the line that you need to adjust - you can move it by clicking and dragging, or can remove it by clicking the delete button in the top menu 

  4. Once all adjustments have been made, re-lock the lines by re-checking the "Freeze Locked Elements?" box. 

Aligning Fields

This function assists in aligning several items to the left or right, or to the same top or bottom.

  1. Click and drag to select all fields you want aligned together. The buttons will become active above.

  2. Click to select the alignment type you want to use.

To align fields to the center, the stationery item must have a bounding box (dashed line going around the edges of the stationery). 

  1. Select the field you want aligned (only one field can be selected). 

  2. From the top menu, from the far right of the Element Tools, click the small down arrow button to open the full toolbar menu.

  3. From the Element Arrangement Tools section, click the center alignment button. This will align your field within the center of the bounding box.
