Slug/Bleed preset with safe are guideline

[affi.usr]

I make a lot of document with the same values of bleed and slug. Most of document are for the same type of industrial paper cutter guillotine. They need 3mm space from each side free space in and out of project to avoid bad cuts. So I started all project with putting the same values. It is a waste of time. Maybe is not troublesome but it is anoying.

 

My dream is simply set them one and next use preset for it when I started new document.

 

Designed heaven it will be when I'll be can combined this with preset of guideline for make guide of safe area to work it.

 

I give some example. I make A4 poster. I start new project. Program automaticly remember last preset of bleed and slug so I don't need set it up manually. Before I make preset - slug/bleed area 6mm. On this preset I have option "safe guideline space" - I set it to 5mm. I create new file.

 

I have bleed and slug setup to 6 mm on earch side - up, down, left and right to 6 mm.

I have automaticly generated guideline based on A4 size (210x297mm) - portrait:

 

up = +5mm

down = -5mm

left = 5mm

right = -5mm

 

so position of guideline is (0,0 is a left up corner of page):

 

up = 5 mm (0+5)

down = 292 mm (297-5)

left = 6 mm (0+5)

right = 205 mm (210-5)

 

For more advance I'll be add advance option with automaticly calculated guideline. I simply make one row with value:

 

horizontal / vertical guideline - checkbox

formula - in format +5, 0.25% (= 0,25% of page dimension), divison or multiply fx. /10 (210/10 = position 21mm)

color - fx. green

 

Now when I create new document I set up safe area when machine not cut my work and I get initial guideline to position my elements.
