Invent | Variable placeholders in Invent
Several variables can be used within one frame as part of your Invent setup.
For example, if creating a business card where most of the text is contained within one frame, then it is possible to use variable placeholders to dictate where a variable is used.
1. Select your frame containing multiple pieces of information
2. Ensure the frame is enabled
Enabling the frame means it is considered a dynamic element of your template.
3. Position the text cursor within the frame.
When inserted, the placeholder will replicate the font and formatting of the selected text.
4. Navigate to the Properties tab, where you will now see the Text Selection Options
5. Select the variable you wish to insert as a placeholder
6. Click Add
7. The placeholder will be inserted in the required format
The original text is now surplus to requirements and can be removed.
8. Inserted placeholder
9. Repeat the process for multiple variables
10. Import the template into MegaEdit and launch the product
In our example, no default or placeholder text has been defined, meaning blank space is the default.
11. Text will be generated on the artwork as the variables are filled
The input text will match the formatting and font of the defined variable placeholder.
