Gridify Gutter Issues

[joep10800191]

Hi guys -

I'm working in CS6 on Windows 10 and have some gutter issues with the Gridify feature in IND.

Whenever I draw objects (rectangles, ellipses, etc.) Grifiy uses my file's gutter spaces like it's supposed to. However, whenever I load images into a cursor and use Gridify, the gap between them is much smaller than what my document's gutter is set at. I can't even hold shift to place loaded cursor images proportionally (there's also a dotted line around the loaded cursor images when I'm dragging them. Do you guys have any idea why? I know I can manually adjust the space using Control but it's a little tedious to have to do with every placement.

^^Gridify placing loaded images

I don't think it's a bug in my preferences because some of the files I have it works correctly, so I'm wondering if there's a preference or setting in my files that I could change?

Thanks!

It works in CC2017 on Win 10. It’s important to note that CS6 is not supported under Win 10 so small incompatibilities are not unheard of.

Sorry, but I don’t have CS6 installed anymore but you might try running it in Win 7 compatibility mode. No guarantees though.

Thanks Bob, I was wondering that too but no luck.

Though it didn't make sense to me that some IND files I use in CS6/Windows 10, Gridify's gutters work correctly with the loaded cursor images but some other files do not. Appreciate your input!

You could try exporting the troublesome files to IDML to clear out some possible corruption.

Exporting to IDML seemed to work. Curious as to what caused that corruption.

Thanks Bob!

That’s always a mystery.
