ReminderVDP Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I am having an issue with an Imposition I am building for a Rollem slitter. I have it set up on the sheet how I want it but the Duplexing choice keeps staying on Long edge when I choose Short Edge and hit okay. The next time I go into the options, it's back to Long Edge and both choices are checked. Is there any way to fix this? I'm getting the second page of the document rotating 180 degrees because of this. I did not have this problem last week when I started building the imposition layout. I'm attaching the Imposition file here to look at.Imposition_PC_5.5X8.5_ROLLEM.fpi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronsupremeworks.com Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 You have the Imposition set to rotate 180. set it back to 0 and it will work. AaronImposition_PC_5.5X8.5_ROLLEM.fpi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReminderVDP Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 Aaron, I tried it with Rotation off and it doesn't work that way either. It still defaults to long edge even when I choose short edge. I must have forgot to turn off the rotation on the file I attached here. Sorry about that. I opened the file you attached and composed with it and page 2 is rotated 180 degrees. And it changed to long edge after I chose short edge.

aaronsupremeworks.com Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 OK.. I think something was wrong with the way the impo file saved itself. I after multiple trys got it to save the flip on short edge. Try this. AaronImposition_PC_5.5X8.5_ROLLEM.fpi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReminderVDP Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 Thanks Aaron. That worked. I need to make one change and I'm hoping that doesn't break it. I had tried making a new imposition several times and it always went back to the long edge. I've never seen this before with the Imposer software.

ReminderVDP Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 I made one change to the imposition file and it switched to long edge and I can't get it back to short edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Korn Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 This is a known issue with FP Imposer on Mac. It will be fixed in an upcoming patch build of FusionPro VDP 10 for Mac. There are a couple of workarounds. One is to use the FP Imposer app on Windows. The other is to edit the FPI file in a text editor and change the line "FlipOnShortEdge=True" to "FlipOnShortEdge=False", or vice-versa.

ReminderVDP Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 Thanks Dan. I think I may have found a work around. It seems like certain settings in the advanced options change the edge from short to long. I'll try it again when we upgrade to version 10.

aaronsupremeworks.com Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Dan, While I appreciate you fixing this in the current version could you please do something to address FPimposer for previous versions (like mine)? Maybe release the imposer as a separate download? This has been a known issue for a while. Thanks Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
