00:00:06:07 - 00:00:09:07
Next one down is set size.
00:00:09:14 - 00:00:11:29
Now I've got this set up really simply.
00:00:11:29 - 00:00:14:26
So again it's a,
00:00:14:26 - 00:00:18:05
err It's a boolean value.
00:00:18:05 - 00:00:20:13
And it's just saying that
if I've got the boolean
00:00:20:13 - 00:00:21:23
ticked, it's going to be one size.
00:00:21:23 - 00:00:23:24
If it's unchecked,
it's going to be another.
00:00:23:24 - 00:00:26:07
But of course you can make it
more complicated than that.
00:00:26:07 - 00:00:30:01
So you can link it to drop down
variables and various other things
00:00:30:08 - 00:00:34:11
to actually have greater control
over what this size change is going to do.
00:00:36:14 - 00:00:37:29
You can see that it kind of thing
it's doing.
00:00:37:29 - 00:00:42:04
It's just taking that entire field,
and it's resizing the entire field
00:00:42:04 - 00:00:45:04
to what you specify it to be.
00:00:46:11 - 00:00:49:15
So let me show you the options that
we have available when specifying this.
00:00:49:21 - 00:00:51:06
There's a few more options for this one.
00:00:56:07 - 00:00:59:07
So again we start off with our conditions.
00:00:59:13 - 00:01:03:00
We specify our actions
where we specify one of our fields.
00:01:03:15 - 00:01:06:15
And then we go to set size.
00:01:07:19 - 00:01:10:19
Now there's a few different options
we have in here.
00:01:10:24 - 00:01:14:10
So we have the ability to just modify
the height in isolation,
00:01:14:21 - 00:01:18:03
the width in isolation
or the height and the width.
00:01:18:14 - 00:01:23:13
And if you specify any of those, you then
get the resulting option to be able to
00:01:23:13 - 00:01:26:13
either do absolute height, width or both,
00:01:27:05 - 00:01:30:05
or a relative height width or both.
00:01:30:22 - 00:01:33:13
So absolute will just be you specify
00:01:33:13 - 00:01:36:13
what that size is going to be.
00:01:36:14 - 00:01:38:24
Relative is a relative change
00:01:38:24 - 00:01:41:24
from the current size.
00:01:42:15 - 00:01:45:19
So for example I've just got width
specified here as absolute.
00:01:45:25 - 00:01:48:15
So my width is going to be 100.
00:01:58:06 - 00:02:00:04
Another thing we have in here
00:02:00:04 - 00:02:03:04
is the ability
to actually match existing fields.
00:02:03:13 - 00:02:07:04
So if you don't want to sort of specify
individual heights and width.
00:02:07:04 - 00:02:12:09
So if I go to match field
you can specify another enabled field
00:02:12:09 - 00:02:15:09
which is on your canvas.
00:02:16:24 - 00:02:18:29
And then you've got
additional options in there.
00:02:18:29 - 00:02:21:13
So then you can say
okay well I want this to match
00:02:21:13 - 00:02:24:15
the width of that field
or the height or the width and the height.
00:02:25:06 - 00:02:28:02
We also have some additional text options
in there as well.
00:02:28:02 - 00:02:31:22
So if these are text fields
you have the ability to
00:02:33:06 - 00:02:35:26
base those changes on the actual text
within the fields
00:02:35:26 - 00:02:39:14
and control the text within the fields
rather than just the fields themselves.
00:02:39:23 - 00:02:42:26
So text width,
text height, text width height.
00:02:53:14 - 00:02:54:00
Okay.
00:02:54:00 - 00:02:56:13
Now,
00:02:56:13 - 00:02:58:02
something I should probably note
to the developers.
00:02:58:02 - 00:03:00:03
Actually,
this doesn't have a unit on there.
00:03:00:03 - 00:03:03:03
I think this is
00:03:04:09 - 00:03:05:29
if it's the same as position,
00:03:05:29 - 00:03:08:29
I think it's a point value.
00:03:09:14 - 00:03:12:05
Yes, I'll confirm that,
but I think it's a point value.
00:03:12:05 - 00:03:16:00
So when you're actually
specifying a value in here make sure that.
00:03:16:00 - 00:03:19:15
And if you're referencing
your actual, InDesign product,
00:03:19:23 - 00:03:23:25
make sure that you've got the same unit
specified in InDesign as well.
00:03:23:25 - 00:03:26:07
Otherwise it's going to start
getting quite confusing.
00:03:26:07 - 00:03:27:23
you probably know how to do this.
00:03:27:23 - 00:03:31:20
Most of you probably know InDesign a lot
better than I do, but just to show
00:03:31:20 - 00:03:34:20
where you can change those units
if you need to,
00:03:34:29 - 00:03:36:08
if I can remember.
00:03:36:08 - 00:03:38:00
So if I go to
00:03:39:14 - 00:03:42:07
Edit Preferences
00:03:42:07 - 00:03:45:07
and then units and increments.
00:03:47:10 - 00:03:51:07
I can change my units as necessary.
00:03:53:07 - 00:03:56:18
So for example,
if I change this to points.
00:03:59:16 - 00:04:01:02
Click on okay.
00:04:01:02 - 00:04:03:15
And then click on one of those fields.
00:04:03:15 - 00:04:05:29
If I go to the properties tab,
00:04:05:29 - 00:04:09:02
I can now see what the height
and width of that particular field
00:04:09:02 - 00:04:12:02
is in point values, which is what
00:04:13:11 - 00:04:16:11
MegaEdit is going to use.
