drop down menu

Post by Glenn Boyce » Fri Feb 27, 2009 3:46 am

I've built a small drop down menu bar on the first card of a stack that I want to have one every card. Do I have to copy it to every card or is there a way of setting it to show on every card. I have grouped all the dropdowns together

Hi Glen,

grouping your dropdown stuff was a good idea :-)
Now you can "place" this group on every card you need it.
This can also be done with the menu "Object" -> "Place Group.."

Check "place" in the docs.

If you also check "backgroundbehaviour" for this group, then
the group will automatically be placed on every new card you create.


Best

Thanks Klaus but I can't see the name of my group when I go to menu "object" -> "Place Group..." It isn't listed there but I've definitely named it
