Re: Default Anchored frame positioning
You want to get Bruce Foster's ImpGraph plug-in, which (from the ReadMe): lets you specify the default settings for the anchored frame created when you import a graphic and for the scale and runaround settings for an imported graphic. http://home.comcast.net/~bruce.foster/ImpGraph.htm Cheers, Art Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.com ...

RE: Default Anchored frame positioning
The easiest way to accomplish the is to use the standard shrinkwrap command, invoked by pressing the three keys Esc, m, p in sequence (not simultaneously), after you've inserted the graphic. (I've been using this command for so long that those three keystrokes are completely automatic for me whenever I insert a graphic.) This command, which was originally designed for inline mathematical equations (the mp mnemonic stands for math, package), does exactly what you seek, plus it reduces the padding between the graphic and the graphic from 6 pts on all sides to 1 pt on all sides. Note that what I describe is the *standard* shrinkwrap command. Many Frame users have installed a free 3rd party plugin called ShrinkWrapAsIs.dll, which changes the padding *without* changing the position property. If you have that DLL in the fminit\Plugins folder of your FrameMaker installation, simply move it to another file to restore the standard shrinkwrap command. Of course, it's also possible that you actually *want* the 6 pt padding around each graphic, and in that case Art Campbell's suggestion to buy Bruce Foster's ImpGraph plugin is probably the best solution. -Fred Ridder Subject: Default Anchored frame positioning Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2009 09:24:11 +0200 From: verner.ander...@radiometer.dk To: fram...@omsys.com; framers@lists.frameusers.com Hi I have unstructured FM8.

Re: Default Anchored frame positioning
Fred, I'm not sure which version of ImpGraph you're running, the padding or margin is one of the property settings that you specify. It's not locked at 6 pt as you imply in your message. Or you can specify the dimensions for the frame and size the graphic to fit. Art Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.com ...

RE: Default Anchored frame positioning
Art, First, I don't use ImpGraph at my current job because shrinkwrap works fine for our template design. Second, I never said (nor implied, as far as I can see) that ImpGraph locks the padding around graphics at *any* value. The point I was making was that both the standard and AsIs versions of the FrameMaker shrinkwrap command *always* change the graphics padding from 6 pt to 1 pt, and that if Verner needs/wants the original padding (or anything greater than that 1 pt padding produced by shrinkwrap) he needs to use something other than shrinkwrap. I mentioned ImpGraph by name only because you had already suggested that tool. I was simply trying to provide context for my suggestion as well as acknowledging your valid suggestion. -FR From: art.campb...@gmail.com Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2009 09:06:24 -0400 Subject: Re: Default Anchored frame positioning To: docu...@hotmail.com CC: verner.ander...@radiometer.dk; fram...@omsys.com; framers@lists.frameusers.com Fred, I'm not sure which version of ImpGraph you're running, the padding or margin is one of the property settings that you specify.

I would like the position to be At insertion point and Distance above baseline 0.0 pt My habit is to insert an empty anchored frame in a dedicated container pgf first, before issuing the File Import File command. The first such insertion in a FM session requires that I choose At Insertion Point in the anchored frame dialog box, but FM keeps that choice as the default in a session until it is changed. I have the ShrinkWrapAsIs.dll installed and use the Esc m p sequence after importing a graphic. The entire key sequence (after setting the At Insertion Point default) takes mere seconds: Alt+s a Enter (invokes Special Anchored Frame New Frame) Alt+f i f (invokes File Import File) [ choose and insert graphic file ] Esc m p (invokes shrinkwrap command) HTH, -- Stuart Rogers Technical Communicator Phoenix Geophysics Limited Toronto, ON, Canada +1 (416) 491-7340 x 325 srogers phoenix-geophysics com Ah, but a man's screech should exceed his rasp, or what's a violin for? --with apologies to Robert Browning and the people next door ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.
