push pull feature DPX

I have 17 objects (different distances from the page bottom) as a footer on each page which are repeated on all pages. For the text above i have worked out how to' push it' and i thought i had worked out how to do the push from the footer objects up... all worked fine' but i can only make it work if i soft group them which i realize would export then as a .bmp not what i wanted. Also if i do this the push settings from the footer it does not do not get 'sent' to the other repeated pages i.e. its attributes do not cascade like movement changes do.....am i missing something ? Do i have to set the first page footer push settings for each object individually delete all other footers then use repeat on all pages so the push is included..seems a bit clumsy if this is the way?

Any help for tired old dog would be appreciated

Something comes to mind about the futility of teaching an old dog anything. ;)

Footers work like repeat on all pages but only on that specific page.

Not sure about your first question. See Help > Push or Position on Page for help with this.

Hi Scruffy

Could you upload an example .WEB file ?

I guess you mean .PNG (Xara doesn't export web graphics as .bmp)

Scruff' - SOFT GROUPING will not export the soft-grouped objects as one single graphic. This is one of the whole points of SG's over G's.

Hi all

In that case Steve my mistake with the export of SG's I will use the SG to do the pushing as it worked fine.....back to my basket and my bone.
