Reply To: ‘Snap to’ in pasteboard

Dan, I don’t have an answer.

But–there’s nothing wrong with assembling things or testing things on the pasteboard. Many people do it (myself included).

While I also have sample files, I still do things on the pasteboard.

For example, had a job where all of the chapter titles were pieces of art. And some heads. We were supplied the art, which was good. But there were a few that were not provided, but they had provided an artfile of the entire alphabet. So a few short titles I had to create by putting the different letters in separate picture boxes and grouping and anchoring.

I found it easier to assemble on the pasteboard than creating a new document.

There is nothing wrong or improper about using the pasteboard. That’s what it’s there for. So don’t beat yourself up about it or think it makes you an amateur.
