However, if labels are arranged in multiple grids, such as a running bond pattern, multiple Layout tags can be used.

A common example for multiple layouts is a sheet with three + CD labels:

The two labels on the left edge can be assigned to a grid, assuming we + can define the coordinates for the top left label and the distance to + the second label properly. The distance to the left edge is common to + these labels. The third one on the right edge has no common distance + values with the other ones, that's why we have to define a second layout, + with unique coordinates for the top left corner of that label.

+ + +

You can define multiple layouts only if the labels on the sheet + have the same shape. If your sheet contains different shapes, you have + to define each shape in another template seperately. Future versions + of gLabels will probably be able to concatenate such sheets + with different shapes within a single template.

A single label can always be treated as a grid of one.
