Automatic Step and Repeat - Automation Engine

[bquarks]

There is a way to step and repeat 2 or more products without I have to set a lot of grid inside step and repeat ticket?
For example my die cut have 4 step across and 10 step around but I run 2 product on this die cut. The 2 step across of top is a product and the 2 step across of bottom is another product.
But I want sent this information by xml, and the workflow understand that I want another grid for another product, without I have to set this all the time that I have 4 product or 5 product.

And how I can do the station number?

You mention station number, so i assume you're in folding carton. Using the CAD based Step&Repeat tasks? There is a movie online showing showing the Create CAD sheet task. It can be driven from an XML file. The task was released in 12. something...

Actually I work with labels, but some of my customers requires station number. I'm using the Step and Repeat Tabular. I dont have CAD.

Use a custom smartame in each grid instead of [file] for starters. There are many ways to do this with nothing more than smartnames and a router or two

With an xml workflow its easy as imjohnh says.
Create a smartname [File A] [File B]
Rename one file to A and the other to B and change [file] to the smartname

When using multiple grids for layout you could use the dynamic layout tasks. The tasks input can be an XML file. Have a look at this.
