What is the best way to edit a small portion of a 12-up file?

I am making Christmas ornaments, and layer them out 12up. Is there a way to have Lightburn reference a single master graphic in an imposition? Sort of like the symbols in Illustrator, and a linked graphic in InDesign.

For reference, the part that I edited is in black.
I’d rather not have to reimpose this file every time I need to make a change to part of the design.

Using the grid array tool you can choose to create a virtual array where the copies of the base design are virtual. They will reflect changes made to the base. See if this gets you what you need.

Here is more information on the Virtual Array capabilities @berainlb mentioned. :slight_smile:

You would have to have 2 different “symbols” and 2 different virtual arrays. One for the non-rotated and one for the rotated. You can’t rotate using virtual array.
