Set Frame-Editing Rules for all Frames in a Document

Created on 25th November 2016 at 12:11 by Jamie O'Connell

By default, frames are not editable in version documents.

It is possible, however, to enable and set rules for frame editing on a document-wide basis.

NOTE:
A user may only change the geometry of a frame if there is editable content for that user in that frame (i.e. image, text segment).

Rules for all frames in a document: 'File > Default Frame Rules'

While in the Master Document Editor, click 'File > Default Frame Rules' to open the 'Frame Rules - Document' window.

From here, you can set the rules for editing frames (that contain editable content) throughout the document.

Set Frame Rules

From the drop-down menu, choose the rules for how frames should be editable within this project.

You can choose any combination of rules from this menu.

NOTE:
For example, if you choose "Allow Resize", then users will be able to resize all frames containing editable content.
However, if you choose "Allow Resize: Right", then users will be able to resize all frames containing editable content, but only using the right handle of the frame. In other words, the top, bottom and left edges of frames will stay in their original positions.

NOTE:
If you choose 'Allow All' from the rules drop-down menu, it will add 5 separate rules - resize, move, scale, rotate, and skew.

Click 'Apply'

The selected rules will be listed in the 'Frame Rules - Document' window.

Click the 'Apply' button to apply your frame rules to the project.

NOTE:
Rules can be deleted individually via the red crosses to the right.
