Placing one picture in several frames?

[Guest]

I have done it before, so I am sure it can be done: Placing one picture in several frames at one time in CnDesign cs 4.

One image spread across multiple frames, or multiple frames all with the same same image as copies?

[Guest]

The first: One image across multiple frames!

Create and select the frames. Choose Object>Path>Make Compound Path. Place you image into that.

Perfect! Thanks Bob

I know this is an old thread, but still love this feature. It doesn't crop up often so always have to look it up each time. Thank Bob for reminding me again.

Hi Alma,

Discription is in German, but I think this not that big problem…
