Business Macro (v11.0.3)

From the other thread, in regard to the macro above:

@Alibear57

The main thing I want KM to do is replicate items over my page. To explain. I design business cards on a 55x89mm page size. Once the design is complete, I change the page size to SRA3, then select my business card image, move it to the top left of the page, replicate it across to the right, then repeat this using alt cmd U & return (it used to be simpler). Then I group the three items, replicate them DOWN the page once, then use the above keys to replicate the grouped set, all the way down until I've filled the page with 24 business cards.

This is very tedious and time consuming. I have made several failed attempts at this, and have ALMOST got a macro to do this, but it doesn't seem to want to copy the items in an exact straight line horizontally, but offsets them a fraction - so not sure what I'm doing wrong, any help would be appreciated.

Can I suggest another way?

1. Put your single card in
2. Duplicate it twice
3. Select All
4. Align top edges and distribute horizontal centres, using the "Align to page" setting
5. Group
6. Duplicate the group 7 times
7. Select All
8. Align left edges and distribute vertical centres, still using the "Align to page" setting

That should give you perfectly distributed cards across your sheet. It's quick enough that you may not even need to macro it!
