Step and Repeat Action

Post by stome »

Hi all again,

Is there a step and repeat action in Pitstop or a clever way to do it using other actions?

Kind regards!

I know of people who have made step and repeat functionality with the Add Copied Graphic Action.
This now enables you to link to a PDF, rather than embedding it.
There are several options to generate multiple copies across and down a page.
That particular functionality was created for generating Grommets for large format, but it's flexible enough for other uses.

Hope that helps, if you have a specific file you want to work with, you can always contact me. Always happy to help.

Thank you! Forgive my ignorance but where can I find the 'Add Copied Graphic" action? I don't see it in my Actions list and I did a search.

Kind regards!

It's an Action, not an Action List
So you would need to make an Action to use it.

I covered it a bit in the November PitStop workshop, so you might want to look at that.
