Shelf Label Editor Tools
Various tools can be used in the Shelf Label Editor to make graphical editing of the shelf label easier. It is also possible to export a preview of the created shelf label types, highlight individual objects or copy one shelf label type to another.
This manual introduces additional features to make working with shelf labels easier:
- Export shelf label page to PDF.
- Undo or redo an action.
- Graphical editing of shelf labels.
- Copy the entire shelf label from default to action.
- Tools of shelf label editor
Export shelf labels to PDF
In Quant, you can export a preview of the created shelf labels to PDF. For this purpose it is useful to have a Product Example and a Store Example set up. A preview of all enabled shelf label types and the back page of the shelf labels are always exported, if the embedded objects are also on the back page.
Undo / Redo action
If you want to undo or redo an action, use the Undo/Redo arrows at the top of the Shelf Label Editor.
Graphical editing of individual objects
Functions in the right panel
Within the panel on the right of each object, you can graphically edit these objects. Each object offers different forms of editing that are very intuitive.
Copying shelf label objects
It often happens that the Action shelf label is a copy of the Default Shelf Label and only has some extra parameters set or perhaps a different background. To avoid having to recreate all the variables, you can select all or only some of the attributes in the Default Shelf Label tab and press Ctrl+C (Cmd+C), then go to the Action Shelf Label tab and press Ctrl+V (Cmd+V).
You must set the example store and product for each type of shelf label separately. Copying objects does not apply this setting. For more information about setting up an example, see the Shelf Labels Settings manual.
Tools
- Construction line
If you have several objects on the shelf label that are supposed to be on the same plane, you can use the construction line to align these objects. It is important to keep the Auto Snap tool active at all times.
