Stone Design Forums

The matrix thing is super for making business cards or repetitive labels. The only trick is to group the card contents in a box group and then make the box edges and fill white.

I was wondering if anyone had made an AppleScript or a template to setup business cards in Create.

Choose the menu item Scripts - "Balloon Cards" to see a sample biz card generator applescript in action.

You could modify that with your logo, etc, choose File - Save Other - Save Applescript, give it the name you want it to appear under the scripts menu as, and click Save. By default, it will save to your personal script folder (choose Script - My Scripts to see it in Finder) and thus be available as a menu item.

Depends on what you mean. We don't have a bunch of sample designs, although if our users contribute cool stuff, we make those available. In the Page tab of Library Resources, we have some business card guides set up; just drag the page into a document.

We also include a script "Balloon Cards" under the Script menu, which puts up a dialog box for name and email address and then uses that information to generate some cards. I've attached that script to show how to get user input into an Applescript.

Hope this helps,

Kris
