formatforprinting

Post by Da_Elf » Tue Dec 01, 2015 2:30 pm

Ive read that my font problems are from needing to use formatforprinting
I want my stack to be set to true for this but it says i have to apply it to the stack before i open the stack. how do i do this? cant i just have a button that turns it on or off. does the stack really have to be closed? it would be a pain in the butt to work that way

I think you are talking about the fact that this property is set to "false" by default when a stack is created. Once set to "true', the property sticks.

Do read the dictionary about this, though. There are issues with using it properly.

Note that you can set this in an openStack handler, or you can even set this property in the templateStack, so that all new stacks will have it set to "true"
