HOW TO USE
1. Set the Illustrator artboard to the exact final trimmed print size.
2. Extend the design outside the artboard by the required bleed amount.
3. Select every object belonging to the design, including bleed artwork.
3. Open Fox Imposition V 1.0.
4. Choose the printing sheet size and orientation.
5. Choose Auto Fit or specify rows and columns.
6. Set gaps, sheet margin, bleed and printer marks.
7. Click Create Imposition Sheet.

The extension creates a new artboard and duplicates the artwork onto it. The original
artwork is not moved. Imposed artwork and printer marks remain on separate editable layers.

IMPORTANT
- The active artboard is always treated as the final trim boundary.
- Artwork outside the active artboard is preserved as bleed.
- Crop marks identify the active artboard/trim boundary, never the artwork bounds.
- At shared edges, bleed is clipped to half of the gutter so adjacent copies never overlap.
- Outer perimeter edges retain the complete bleed amount.
- Auto Fit tests normal and 90-degree rotated arrangements and uses the one with more copies.
- Custom sheet presets are stored by the CEP panel on the current computer.
