"Replace layout" window

You open this window by selecting a layout or sheet (as part of a layout) and then selecting "Replace layout" from the context menu in the "Imposition" step. This function allows you to replace the selected layout with another layout.

The "Select layout" window opens automatically immediately after the "Replace layout" window has been opened. See "Select layout" window.

Here you can select the desired layout in the file system of the Prinect server or in connected network drives.

"File name" box

The file name of the selected layout and the path in the file system are displayed here.

"Browse" button

Click this button to open the "Select Layout" window where you can then select the layout you wish to import. See "Select layout" window.

"Proof Layout" option

The imported layout is used as a proof layout if you select this option.

A proof layout is created exclusively for proof output and does not appear in the sheet view or in the separation view. Other than this, a proof layout is like a "normal" layout. It can be linked only to a proof sequence but not to a production output sequence.

"Take Sheet Name from New Layout" option

If this option is enabled, the sheet name(s) of the existing layout will be replaced by the sheet name(s) of the new layout.

"Create New Page List" option

If this option is enabled, a new page list is automatically generated when the layout is replaced, which contains exactly one page placeholder for each page position defined in the new layout.

If this option is not enabled, a page list is not generated for the new layout.

"Page list name" box

The name of the new page list is displayed here. If necessary, you can change the page list name (the field is editable if the "Create new page list" option is enabled).

"Assign Page List(s)" Group

If the "Create new page list" option is disabled, this area becomes editable and you can assign existing page lists to the layout here.

The page lists are displayed as follows:

​•​The "Show assigned page lists of other layouts and levels" option is not enabled:

Only the page lists that have not yet been assigned to a layout are displayed.

​•​The "Show assigned page lists of other layouts and levels" option is enabled:

All page lists are displayed, regardless of whether they are already assigned to a layout or not.

You can add page lists to the layout using "Add". The added page lists are moved into the right-hand area. Similarly, you can use "Remove" to remove individual page lists from the combination and move them to the left-hand area.

Remember the following items when doing so:

​•​The page list positions (page placeholders of the page lists) must match the layout positions (page placeholders of the layouts), especially if you select multiple page lists. You cannot assign two page list positions to one layout position.

​•​Versioning: If you work with versioning, you can assign a matching set of page lists to the layout per version. This means that one page list position can be assigned to a layout position for each version.

"Show assigned page lists of other layouts and levels" option

When this option is enabled, "Assign Page List(s)" shows you all the page lists, irrespective of whether they are assigned to a layout or not. This also applies in particular to versioned jobs (version layouts and levels).

"Assign sequence(s)" Group

"Sequence name(s)" box

The name(s) of the assigned sequence(s) is/are displayed here.

"Assign" button

Click the "Assign" button to open the "Assign Sequence(s) to Layout" window. Select the sequence(s) with which you want to continue editing. See "Assign Sequence(s) to Layout" Window.
