Create Item Variations
The **Create Item Variations** feature is a very fast way to generate all grid versions of a design. Simply create a single tile design, save it, and then use the panel’s fly-out menu. All grid versions will be auto-created, along with Page Designs for every grid option in the setup, as well as a random catalogue for a convenient quick run of your dataset.

No need for special settings?
By default, the bounds of each frame are scaled to fit the current grid size. That’s the simplest and most commonly used method.

Tweaking how the variations behave
If you need more control over how the bounds are changed, we offer a wide range of options. To give you maximum flexibility, commands manage alignment, scaling, and gaps. The controls are entered as plain text in the InDesign **Script Label** panel.

The “MOVE” command
To move objects without scaling them, use the **MOVE** command together with alignment options.
Example: `MOVE-LEFT-TOP` or `MOVE-RIGHT-BOTTOM`

The “SCALEBOUNDS” command
This is the default scaling feature. All frame bounds are resized to match the current grid size.
Example: `SCALEBOUNDS`

The “SCALEALL” command
When using **SCALEALL**, all frames and their contents (e.g. text) will be scaled. Scaling is always proportional:
* 200% at a 2×2 or 2×3 grid
* 300% at a 3×3 grid
* 400% at a 4×4 grid
…but not for grids like 1×2.
Use alignment options in combination with **SCALEALL**.
Example: `SCALEALL-LEFT-TOP` or `SCALEALL-RIGHT-BOTTOM`

The “KEEPWIDTH” and “KEEPHEIGHT” commands
If a frame needs to keep its width or height, use one of these commands. They cannot be combined (that would be equivalent to the **MOVE** command).
Example: `KEEPWIDTH-LEFT-TOP` or `KEEPHEIGHT-RIGHT-BOTTOM`

The “KEEPGAB” command
If the distance to the grid edges (left/right or top/bottom) is important, you can control the spacing by entering point values. When creating the one-by-one design, the bounds should snap to the grid size.
Example: `KEEPGAB-10-15`
→ Left/right = 10 pt, Top/bottom = 15 pt

Alignment options
Horizontal alignment: “LEFT”, “CENTER”, “RIGHT”
Vertical alignment: “TOP”, “CENTER”, “BOTTOM”
These can be used in conjunction with “MOVE”, “SCALEALL”, “KEEPWIDTH”, and “KEEPHEIGHT”.
