Making Clipping Masks

It is very likely that one or more of the copies lay partially outside of the panel they were created for. Sometimes this is a desired effect (having the graphics run continuously over a folding line). Sometimes this is not a desired effect and you will have to create a clipping mask to contain the copy within its panel.

Working With Distributed Art

You can update the copied distributed art, for example after you have edited the original art; or you can undistribute and expand distributed art if you want to delete the copies.

Update Copies

After a 'distribute', you will have the same art appearing several times in your document. If you change one of them, the others will not be updated automatically. To have them updated, select Update Copies from Studio’s fly-out menu. When updating copies, the selected one is used to recreate all the other copies.

This is how the package looks before updating.
