    I need to save the same image in different formats, for iPhone, iPad, Web etc.
    Actually, I import into one frame and then – Copy/Paste into/Fill Frame Proportionally – on the other frames.
    Is there a simple way to do this in one shot? I can write a script to do this, but I was wondering if there was some sort of Command I was missing…
    Thank you

    Sounds like you want Object > Fitting > Frame Fitting Options

    No David, not really…
    I already prepared my empty frames with Frame Fitting Options according to my needs.
    What I’d like to do is find a way to import THE SAME image into several frames.
    So, what’s missing is something to avoid importing the image in the first frame and having to perform the annoying “Copy/Paste into” routine.

    Oh, I misunderstood. Well, you have to place it once with File > Place. But after that, you have two choices:
    1) You can select the image inside the frame (double-click it) then copy, then click the next frame and choose Paste Into. Repeat select-then-paste-into (you can use the keyboard shortcut to make this go really fast).

    2) After you place the image, you can hit B to get the content collector, and click once on the image. That places the image into the collection bin. Then press B again to switch to the content placer, choose the middle icon at the bottom of the bin (“place multiple and keep in conveyor”), and then just click on each frame you want to put the image into.

    I’ll write that up as a blog post soon so you can see images.
