Need Help Production Manager Crop Marks

[bsm]

In production manager when setting up a job to print you can add crop marks so you can cut up the job afterwards with a ruler. It only gives the option for the outside marks and not the cross type mark, so if you cut one edge you lose the marks for the next cuts.
I have attached a jpeg to show what i mean. Is there anyway to get the cross marks like in the illustration ?

There are different cut marks for different plotters, I do recall that. I don't have access to the program at the moment to test.
One easy work around (the one I always used) was to draw a box the size the product needed to be with no color fill and a black stroke. Your cut lines are there and you don't have to worry about crop marks.

Try the one called Margin Marks. That is as close as Production Manager gets to what you are looking for and should do what you need.

The "Margins" mark is what you're looking for. Works fine for small stuff, things over 5ft I do "Tile Trim Lines."

Don't cut the entire side off... If you cut just to the out side of the marks it should be fine..

Yes, the margin one will work for me, thanks guys.

these are better crop marks for this. Made with one click using a CorelDRAW macro.

Those are the same as the "margin" marks, which are built into the RIP as opposed to cluttering the design file.

"cluttering the design file"?
Crop marks aren't part of the design. Once design is approved we drop the crop marks in as needed then export out for printing, close the design file without saving. Our print tech doesn't need to click, click, click their way through with the RIP to drop in crops.
