Duplicating objects - 5/26/2013 8:58:32 AM    miccisue   Posts: 5 Joined: 5/26/2013 Status: offline I have PS 3.0 Professional. I am trying to make a template for 2 1/4 pinback buttons. I get one set up, but can't find any directions as to how to duplicate it to put more than one on a page. I can get the first one done, but can't click "duplicate" (as I haven't found anywhere that that function exists) and drag the item to another position to fill up the page. When I try that, each part moves separately (there is an outer circle, an inner circle which indicates where the print has to be to not go off the edges of the button, and the items I wish to print on the buttons) and I can't get it relined up properly. Am I just out of luck, or is there a way to take the first image and reproduce it so that I can fit 9 or so images on my paper? Thanks for any help!!! Post #: 1

Alternatively, you could do a Label Sheet project, Avery 5294 Round Label. This automatically duplicates your design 12 times on the page, each one up to 2.5 wide and tall. < Message edited by ellengard -- 5/26/2013 9:47:24 AM > (in reply to miccisue) Post #: 2

When I bring up the template I've started, it just shows "Project", "View", and "Sharing". Everything else is grayed out (and I am running 3.0.5.0). (in reply to ellengard) Post #: 3

I can't get it to drag and drop all the items at the same time, I'm having to do them one at a time - outer circle, inner circle, text, and shape. (in reply to ellengard) Post #: 5

RE: Duplicating objects - 5/26/2013 7:43:13 PM    miccisue   Posts: 5 Joined: 5/26/2013 Status: offline The only problem with the label sheet is that it won't have the inner guideline for where the print has to be contained to show up on the button and not be crimped around the sides. The total size is 2 1/4, but the inner ring is only 2.0-something. Thus my hesitancy in using them. (in reply to ellengard) Post #: 7
