Step 1: Create a Custom Grommet File

Create a PDF containing a circle with its stroke defined as a spot colour, named to match the target tool (for example, Drill). A sample Drill.pdf is attached to this article as a reference.

Open the PDF in PrintFactory Editor and save it as an .aur file in the Grommets folder:

Windows
C:\Users\Public\PrintFactory\Grommets

macOS
HD/Users/Shared/PrintFactory/Grommets

Once saved, the file will appear as an available grommet type for selection in the Workflow step.

Step 2: Configure the Grommets Step

In the Grommets workflow step, set Grommet Type to Drill. Configure spacing and offsets as required.

Step 3: Add a Cutcontour Step

Add a Cutcontour step immediately after the Grommets step. Under Tool Mapping, add a row:

• Spot Color Name: Drill
• Cut Layer: Drill

The spot colour name must exactly match the spot color in the custom Grommet file
