Who doesn't love adding little circles around their artwork and then playing a game of duplicate/distribute/check distance between them?
Well, for those people there's this:
You pick a rivet hole size, fold width, maximum distance between rivets and it will automagically do the rest.
Just have something selected and go to town. I have set the number defaults to what I use in mm. It should be easy for you to change them to whatever you need if you go into the Macro editor and open the form page.
Have fun!
That's awesome!
I've done my own but a little more primitive. I've included a button that you can hit once the design is approved for print. It will delete the grommets but leave a dot in place. It also deletes the inside borders/outlines whereby leaving only the outside rectangle for cutting the banner.
We have templates set up for various banner sizes for quick layouts but can also do custom sizes fairly quick using a series of macros.

Do I understand this correctly? Tried it but I don't get it
Interesting seeing different approaches, tracym, I had a chance to improve this one to fit our workflow better:
Our office moved to the same location as the production facility and I could finally just ask the guys themselves what the banners should look like. This has led me to add a certain function (not inside grommets, yet):
You can now add extra corner grommets - as many as you like (within sensible limits). This can come in handy for large banners in windy locations where the corners could use some extra grip. Or so I was told. The result then looks like this:
The system will take these extra grommets into account when calculating the spacing of the others, so everything is still very even.
I have added the updated macro to the first post.
This is how I modified the default settings to suit our needs.
May i get a copy of your updated version?

Thanks Myron and Joe. Any chance to have this use the document worldscale? That would be nifty....tried to do it myself with no success.
Actually I still don't use this one. What it really needs is the ability to evenly space the grommets at desired width no matter what length/width. Should also have the option to include side grommets or not instead of all the way around. And should 3 outlines not just 2.
so...that's a 'no' then?
no
