    Defintely would have been easier, if the development of the documents allowed it. Unfortunately, this is a database driven document utilizing a third party plugin. That would not support the layer versioning :(. I did figure it out though. After messing about in Evo - i can choose to map the...

    Preps 5.3.3 - Marks

    White boxes knocked out perfectly !!!..... I am using my one large mark as a Static mark, However placing each mark individually would require alot of math when placing each piece, as you cannot place a static mark attached to a single page. So the way I did it was more usefull.
