This software enables automatic coordination of positioning and size adjustments for multiple scatter page items.
LB MagnetoGuides is an excellent tool that simplifies the process of laying out structured and repetitive documents like paper forms. With this plug-in, you can easily coordinate multiple page items' positioning and size changes that are scattered over the layout automatically. However, bear in mind that this plug-in relies on another plug-in, APID ToolAssistant.
Hence, you must ensure installing both MagentoGuides.spln and the appropriate APID ToolAssistant plugin for your computer platform and InDesign version before utilizing this plug-in. Magnetized guides are the cornerstone of LB MagnetoGuides, which allows you to 'magnetize' one or more guides.
These magnetized guides have a unique functionality that pushes or pulls any snapped items along when they are moved, providing advanced control over structured documents' design. Suppose you want to grasp the magnetic guides' functions in detail. In that case, you should work through the cookbook section provided in the user manual accompanying the downloaded files, or you may seek online demos.
If a page item gets snapped to a magnetic guide on only one side, that page item will move along with the guide. On the other hand, if a page item gets snapped to more than one magnetic guide simultaneously, the item will stretch or shrink as necessary to stay snapped to all magnetic guides. This feature enables you to reposition and resize multiple page items concurrently, without grouping them.
For creating more complex structures, you can link multiple magnetic guides together, resulting in a smooth and efficient workflow. For instance, two or more magnetic guides can be rigidly linked, offering consistent distance between these guides at all times.
Alternatively, you could opt for a stretchy linking system between guides, ensuring that when one guide moves, the whole linked guide arrangement stretches or shrinks while respecting the distances between the linked guides. In conclusion, LB MagnetoGuides is a must-have tool for users who frequently work with structured documents, helping them achieve precise placement of multiple page elements in less time.
