Master Template for Affirmation Cards?
-
Hello! I'm a new at using VectorStyler. I really love the features, especially the vector calligraphy brushes.
I'm planning on creating affirmation cards, which requires a software program that has a master template. This will help save time editing possibly 60 cards or more. I plan on creating multiple card decks.
How can I create a master template, similar to Adobe Indesign and the Pages app? VectorStyler's template art board has one static instance of a design and is not editable for multiple instances.
Thanks for your help!

@FunArtSam VectorStyler has a different template canvas mechanism, that will not support this kind of editing.
But, what you need here is a different kind of "template". You will need to set up a design that uses Variables and Styles, and then edit those Variables and Styles

@VectorStyler Thanks for your help! Are there any tutorials that can show me how to accomplish this? I've looked on YouTube, but couldn't find any.

@FunArtSam No tutorials yet, only the documentation.

You could also search the forum, as topics like this come up from time to time.
The forum has some pretty good search options. -
@Subpath Thanks for your suggestion. I have tried to find info about variables and styles in the forum, but I have not found anything useful.
I did find information about data tables, but I have no idea how to use those either.
If someone could create an example file for 'affirmation cards' then I could reverse engineer it. I'm good at learning from example files.

I found a YouTube tutorial about variables. I don't know if this will help to create a master template or not.

I can't find a way to connect a text object's 'x position' to a variable. I'm using the 'Properties' panel.

@FunArtSam The object position cannot be connected to a variable.
But in this case (for dynamic templates) this should not be needed.
