Introducing 9-slice scaling

And it's such a great feature that you …may find it helpful even when you're not interested in replicating artwork. …So the first thing I'm going to do is go up to the File menu and choose the New …Command or you can press Ctrl N or Cmd N on the Mac. …And you want to set the profile to print in order to see the specific symbols that …I'm interested in showing you here. And then you can leave the other options …set to their defaults and click OK. Then go ahead and bring up the symbols …panel, and you'll see the symbols somewhere along the top here, called Trim …Marks with 9 Slice. Go ahead and click on it to select it.…
