Modifying the bleed contour

You can adjust the bleed:

• In the 1up drawing. You make changes to the bleed in the 1up drawing, and then apply them across all layout 1up in the layout drawing.
• In the layout drawing. You make changes to the bleed to one layout 1up, and then apply them across the layout drawing.

Modifying the bleed contour

The modification of the bleed contour is done by hand — you use the mouse to make adjustments in the bleed contour.

When the bleed contour is created, it appears in the Bleed style. The contour contains two types of markings:

• Squares. A square indicates where two lines meet. Dragging a square results in the simultaneous movement of the two connected lines.
• Cross points. A cross point indicates the middle of a line. When a cross point is dragged, an arc is formed from the original line.

The markings — cross points and squares — that indicate where adjustment can be made in the 1up.

TECHNICAL NOTE: Bleed contour modification takes place when you click a marking and then drag it in the direction you need. If you need to transform the available lines and markings, further modifications are available: (1) For squares, pressing SHIFT + mouse click removes the square and merges the two lines that it links into a single line; (2) for cross points, pressing SHIFT + mouse click breaks up the line into two and turns the cross point into a square.
