Hi

i have data sheets loaded up into a file to create a bunch of bases that the code is different on each badge

it all loads up fine but when I try create an action to save as a png - it works but it saves over the original file so I'm left with one rather than 100 with different file names?

I know this used to be an issue as there's no 'save a copy' only 'export as' for png but has it been fixed?

im Told the person that did this role before me managed to do it?

thanks

Did you create a batch out of your action?

Please tell us the exact steps of what you are doing.

Participating Frequently

I have imported a csv, so have a data set

Its a badge - and each badge has a different code

Its been used previously on another computer (PC) and i'm trying to use it their aia didnt work as it was on their PC

Its all linked and I can see each data set - and when i clock on save as png in the action the number changes within the file but it just overwrites the one png over and over - not 'saving as' so im left with one rather than one for each number as i need - yes the bacth is within teh action and does the above

did you check "override Save and Export" when setting up your batch?
