That’s pretty neat! I’ve done SSR isometric design in Illustrator and created actions for each rotation. It’s great to have it in InDesign as well!
WOW!!! So cool — thanks Keith!
I was on stage with Keith when he presented this, and I can say that this was, for sure, the most jaw-dropping moment of CreativePro Week.
