PitStop won't flip Griffin camera marks and page content together

Post by wwstudios »

I'm using Switch with Griffin Auto and Pitstop Server. Does anyone have any clue why the below is happening?

I have Griffin make the camera marks with my layout and add them to a layer named 'Regmark'.

I need to flip the second page horizontally, but I notice the marks don't flip along with the page content.

So I use these actions in Pitstop Server after Griffin generates the layout:


1. Select Layers by name (equals = Regmark)

2. Flip Content (flip horizontally)

3. Select Pages (I select last page)

4. Flip Content (flip horizontally)


And yet the marks are still not flipped along with the page content.

However, if I flip the Regmark layer, and only that layer, I can get the marks to flip.

If I flip the second page and nothing else, then the page content flips, but not the marks.

I'm sure there's something I'm fundamentally misunderstanding here...

Hey there,

Can you share your action list?

I can get last page flipped here.

Sure I can share the action list, although I'm not sure how to attach it here. but as I look closer I think my original premise was flawed.

When my layout comes out of Griffin, it has the two pages as shown in my attachments. The second page has the marks flipped as they should.

This layout then goes into my PitStop configurator and the second page is flipped as shown in my attachments.

So PitStop actually does flip those marks, I just need to either flip them back or keep them as they are in the original output.

I'm not quite sure how to do that though. Some combination of Select Layer, but only on the second page, then flip horizontally?

Then select objects which are not camera marks and flip them:

- Select last page
- Select objects if page is selected
- Select objects in layer by name => Regmark
- NOT
- AND
- Flip selection vertically
