Replace image frame with another from my choice

[ramy5FDA]

Hi

I created a data merge with circle image frames that contains images in

Now I want to replace all these cirlce image frames with any other image frame from my choice such as using pen tool or another clipping path without repeating data merge from start

Is there a script or method can do that ?

Thanks

Pathfinder > Convert to Shape comes to mind, but I don't know how to script that.

Also, if you edit the frame on the master, shouldn't it update on the page? Or do you want to customize each one?

Thanks for your reply Mike

Set up object styles for the shapes then go through and apply them?

these method not replace the whole shape frame with another shape , I want to change shape frame with another for all pages

Assign an object style to the template circle and use Find Object panel to replace with new style.

I want New Shape not new object syle

Probably will need to run the merge again. Or set up the shapes on different layers, apply the merge to all of them, then toggle layers on/off post merge.
