How to "Clone text" (like I did in CorelDraw)?


i switching coreldraw adobe cc , trying learn, , convert have in corel adobe.

 

i have apps, , "think" illustrator correct product use, not sure.

 

in coreldraw have sheet of business cards, (2 columns , 5 down) in clone "master" card other locations on 8 1/2 x 11 sheet prints on adobe business card stock template.

 

that way when need make new cards employee change name, cell # on master card, , automatically updates other cards on sheet.

 

q: illustrator right program use? , if how "clone" text updates other text in document?

r,

 

it (only) adobe application corresponds coreldraw; others may suggest other applications.

 

onestraightforward way have master copies use effect>distort&transform>transform twice, first move horizontally , 1 copy, move vertically 4 copies (or opposite). way create symbol.

 

 

it may worth considering vertical axis direction: since cs5 (the second last cs version, before cc), y axis reversed positive positive down. possible unreverse , have positive up.

 

to change ruler origin (and direction of y axis) in cs5 - cc(2015) same in cs4 , earlier, may:

 

a) install , run script in op of thread,http://forums.adobe.com/thread/890507?tstart=30

 

or

 

b) manually change relevant preference settings follows:

 

0) close down illy (you can change preference file illy closed);

 

1) find , open aiprefs (win speak) or adobe illustrator prefs (mac speak) file text editor notepad or textedit; preference file (hidden) file in (hidden) folder adobe illustrator cs5/cs6/17/18 (depending on version) settings

 

2): find , change following 2 bits of code:

 

/isrulerorigintopleft 1 >>> /isrulerorigintopleft 0 (change 1 0)

 

/isrulerin4thquad 1 >>> /isrulerin4thquad 0 (change 1 0)

 

this global change have once (just can undo once).
