This allowed me to print out my page without worrying about having anything truncated at the top, left, right, or bottom of my page. In other words, I didn't print any type or put a picture or graphic in any of those white space areas. I left 1/4 inch (0.25") white space around the inner perimeter of each of my eight sections. So, here's how I got around that problem: Now, I started to work on designing what I wanted in the upper left most section.īut I later realized my printer was not going to print Edge to Edge, which created another problem. This gave me the eight sections that I wanted. Then I used the line tool with a stroke of 3pt to draw lines at the various points on the grid. Then I selected View > Show Grid which by the way was very helpful. That helped me get the eight sections I wanted. I calculated by 8.5" x 11" page into eight sections as follows: The width is 8.5", so dividing it in half equals 4.25" x 2. I got so upset with trying to use it, that I accomplished what I wanted to do in a different way. There is no need for the Rectangular Grid. That's it, it seems like a lot of steps but it should take 2-3 minutes tops.Thanks for taking time to address my concerns.Īs I (mis)understand it, there is no need for the Recatngular Grid. and click on "Replace Symbol" command in the symbols panel flyout menu.activate the New Icon symbol in the symbols panel.select all 20 symbol instances on the artboard.Now all icons are turned into symbol instances (on the artboard) and symbols (in the symbol panel) repeat for the remaining 18 icons + the New Icon.That's the hard part, now on to the easy stuff To bypass the dialog options each time you make a symbol, turn off the "Toggle Dialog On/Off" next to your Action's name in the Actions Panel. You just created an action to make a symbol out of the selected item. select your first icon and drag it / drop it into the symbols panel.create a new action, give it a shortcut key (F2 for example).
Turn each of the 20 icons + the new icon into symbols (this is tedious), then it is easy to replace them. Here's one way, see if this works for you. You should end up with 24 squares with objects in the exact spot you need them to be. Then end it by tapping Command Key +D 4 times. Select the top row of the objects (all 4) and run the same process. Now it's time to go down and fill the rest. Then select the objects in those two squares and run the above process again to get the other two squares filled on the first row. Run the above process to get your object into the second square.
If you divide your artboard into 24 squares and you need 24 of the same objects in each square it is best to put the first object in the top left corner square. Then hit the Apple or Command key+D several times depending on how many copies you want.After you have dragged the object to a desired spot be sure not to deselect the object(s).While you are dragging the object, hold down the shift key without letting go of the option key.
Then start dragging the object to where it needs to be.Select the object then hold down the alt option key.Sorry I have no reputation but this works. After asking around and playing with some commands I was able to come up with a quick solution.
