Paulie_CZ Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Hi, Publisher is awesome. Only thing i miss, is Object styles. Similar as paragraph and text styles. I often use pre-defined sizes of text frames, with linked paragraph and text styles. For example - i need to create several frames 10x6 cm with 0,8 cm margins on one A4 format list with 0,5 points border. It minimizes the time i spend with creating frames, and only thing i need is to fill them with text. I could copy and paste text frames and fill them with text, but it is not as elegant as using object styles. Thank you for publisher anyway, its realy great. And I appologise for my english. :) simon.widmer, Wosven, Colin_Fredericks and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dries Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Object styles would be very handy. Alternatively it would be nice if the 'color picker' is also a 'style picker' also matching fonts, strokes etc. mswift and Javi Llinares 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I am just guessing here; could you not use the Assets Studio for the "... frames 10x6 cm with 0,8 cm margins ... with 0,5 points border."?

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, you can create a Text Frame, make it the size you want, with the borders you want, and even set the font and font size. Then create a new Asset from that frame, and you'll be able to drag it onto any page you want and the new one will have all those characteristics that you established. dries 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wosven Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 But an object style could have interesting proprieties we can set and modify later. Modifying all the childs at the same time (a propriety can be to assign a Text style). Assets are nice for fifferent parts of a drawing, but empty or already populated with text "text frame assets" wouldn't be as usefull. (And you can't reassign a style with assets.)

Javi Llinares Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 The styles of objects and the selector of styles, save much time in the designs with many pages and any change is instantaneous in all the objects of the style. This can not be done with Assets. Do you have plans to include them? You are doing a great job! dries 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
