Summary |
Details |
|
1 |
Bug |
Work and turn plate burns do not get
the correct mirroring and rotation. |
When a
work and turn plate is created the flopped packages get shifted
Inappropriately and the burn rotation is also incorrect. |
|
2 |
Bug |
Cannot output PDF on quad core CPU. |
Could not output on 4 core processors, but
worked on 2 core cpus. |
|
5 |
Bug |
Burn cursor snap to sheet edge isn't
working consistently. |
On the
older version if you took the cursor keys and pressed in any direction
(jogged) the burn cursor would stop at the sheet edge or if a margin was set
it would stop with the trim on the margin, or bleed to the edge of the sheet
whichever it hit first. |
|
8 |
Bug |
Various
Step and repeat. |
·
When auto
stepping "ctrl+shift" then clicking and drag the first image is not
holding the initial file. All of the copies have the correct information but
the first one is dropping. ·
Sometimes the
image (artwork) assigned to the burn gets shifted in the first burn when
doing a select & drag step-and-repeat. ·
An
"invalid argument" error when importing packages into layouts
without any burns, or importing additional packages in some cases. |
|
12 |
Bug |
Rotating the burn cursor adds 1,2, or
3 inches to the head bleed. |
Rotating
the burn cursor adds 1-3 inches (or the current measurement unit) to the burn
cursor image's head bleed. This would cause and undesired shift in step and
repeats unless the user edited out the bleed on a new burn after such an
operation. |
|
10 |
Enhance |
Spot color is getting lost with
Rampage 11 PDF workflow imposed layouts. |
After
upgrade to Rampage 11 PMS colors would be blank when the layout is viewed in
Rampage. This fix adds a new option to the Generate Output/PDF panel so the
user can specify either CMYK or Lab as the color space for Impose-X spot
color name plate ID text tags. Outputting as CMYK
should match with what Rampage is doing and solve
the problem. |

Existing Customer Pre-Release
The new version of
Impose-X contains core changes to all data structures. Layouts modified by Impose-X
are not backward compatible with earlier versions of the program.
Please read the
following instructions before upgrading:
Working with
version 6 in the same install folder as a previous Impose-X installation, will
update all data files for folds, templates, and marks. Please be cautious and
back up your existing installation, or make thorough use of the demonstration
version in a different install folder USING A DIFFERENT LIB FOLDER before
completing your transition to the new program.
As most experienced
users know, the “lib” folder is of critical importance and should always be
backed up in any case. If you are trialing the new version as a demonstration,
simply run the installer and then COPY your current Impose-X lib folder into
the new Impose-X installation folder.
