Creating a preset like a workspace that includes baseline grid/text box colours

[whitey24601]

Hi everyone,

I already have studio presets saved, What i would like to know is, is it possible to also have included in studio presets different colours for margins,bleed, baseline grid, text boxes and picture frames?

Rather than the default blue or is it limited to what it can do

We cannot change the colour of the guides, default blue is it.

What you need to do is make a Template file, not a preset because presets cannot store the stuff you want to store.

Set up your document with all the stuff you mentioned set up and then go to File > Export as Template. Just be certain that you save it somewhere logical so you can find it later. This will show up in the folder you have chosen for the templates.

You can change the color for the margins, and the bleed, and the baseline grid, but not for the bounding boxes of text or picture frames as far as I know.

However, none of those are part of Studio settings.

You could create a document template with the margin, bleed, and grid settings you want, though. And then you could start new documents using that template rather than using one of the document Presets.

1. Create a new document.
2. Set it up as you like.
3. File > Export as Template.
4. In the Finder or File Explorer dialog, create a new folder for your templates with some appropriate name. Then save the new document with an appropriate name.
5. File > New, then click on Templates rather than Presets. Add your template folder.
6. Then you can simply click on any of the Templates you've created, and start your new document using it.
