How to create a JIG using Editor

The Jig tool (previously called Template) fills a pre‑designed jig/template with incoming jobs. It places each document into the jig’s placeholders, names the result according to your pattern, and can keep accepting more jobs until the jig is complete.

Create a new document in Editor. Use File > Document Setup to set the page size to match your jig.

Select the Template tool and draw a placeholder for each position where artwork should be placed. (Once you create the first one, you can also copy and paste rather than create the other ones manually.)

Enter the exact X/Y position, width, and height for each placeholder. Use Corner or Center to choose the positioning reference.

Open Properties to configure how artwork is aligned, scaled, and cropped within each placeholder.

Select Extra > Jigs > Save…, enter a descriptive name, and confirm.

Wait for the confirmation that the jig is installed.

To reopen it later, select Extra > Jigs > Load… and choose the saved jig.

Use a new name to preserve an existing jig; saving under the same name replaces that resource. Saving and loading jigs requires a connection to PrintFactory Cloud.
