Art,
First, I don't use ImpGraph at my current job because shrinkwrap works fine for our template design. Second, I never said (nor implied, as far as I can see) that ImpGraph locks the padding around graphics at *any* value. The point I was making was that both the standard and "AsIs" versions of the FrameMaker shrinkwrap command *always* change the graphics padding from 6 pt to 1 pt, and that if Verner needs/wants the original padding (or anything greater than that 1 pt padding produced by shrinkwrap) he needs to use something other than shrinkwrap. I mentioned ImpGraph by name only because you had already suggested that tool. I was simply trying to provide context for my suggestion as well as acknowledging your valid suggestion. -FR > From: art.campbell at gmail.com > Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2009 09:06:24 -0400 > Subject: Re: Default Anchored frame positioning > To: docudoc at hotmail.com > CC: verner.andersen at radiometer.dk; framers at omsys.com; framers at > lists.frameusers.com > > Fred, > > I'm not sure which version of ImpGraph you're running, the padding or > margin is one of the property settings that you specify.
