A known bug (feature?) in FrameMaker is that if you use the Esc-m-p Shrinkwrap command, it changes the anchor of the graphic from whatever it was to "At Insertion Point."
A smart Frame user wrote a small FDK plugin that preserves the settings for an anchored frame when shrink wrapping.
I am making the ShrinkwrapAsIs dll available as a download for everyone who requested it, with the following caveats:
No compatibility or suitability or functionality is guaranteed with any version of Frame on any platform. While this DLL was written for FM 6.0, various users have tested with 7.0, 7.1, & 7.2 successfully. Your success may vary. I just know it works on my machine, and has worked in both FM6 and FM7.1, on Win2K and WinXP
Ensure the document you are testing has been saved at least once (not a new document); otherwise it may not work
I have noticed on my machine that I sometimes get a ghost image of the graphic being anchored. A screen refresh (Ctrl-L or PgUp/Dn) will take care of this.
The author of this DLL (who prefers to remain anonymous because he doesn't want people emailing him for support issues) has authorized this file to be posted for download. You may freely distribute this file or URL to other FrameMaker users.
Don't email me for support, either. :-) What's here is all that I know about it...I didn't write it, and I'm not qualified to offer techincal support.
This zip file contains the following (as stated by the author):
ShrinkWrapAsIs.dll
-------------------------------
A
compiled Windows DLL for FM 6.0. Exit FM, copy the DLL to
fminit\Plugins, restart FM, and cross fingers that it still works
with your version of FM. (You do not need to edit your maker.ini
file.)
ShrinkWrapAsIs.c
-------------------------------
Source
file that was used when compiling this DLL.
ShrinkWrapAsIs.rc
-------------------------------
Resource
file that was used when compiling this DLL.
If you prefer this
approach, feel free to use this plugin.
If you are using a
non-Windows platform, you'll have to compile the source yourself,
and probably add an appropriate entry in some FM config file to
register the plugin.
That said...
