We recently upgraded to Opus v7 and the publication I'm currently working on requires around 3-5 objects to be disabled, then later enabled at the same time. I've been doing this using just one disable/enable action, but selecting mutiple objects within that action. However, when I save the publication under a new name (which I often do) Opus quite often seems to 'forget' all of the objects I had selected to be disabled, except for the first one I selected.

Has anyone else come across this issue, and if so any ideas of how to stop it from happening?

Hi,

Yes, I am also using Opus v7, and I tried using the standard disable action for the 3 buttons in the attached file: if the IMP file is saved using another name, 2 of the 3 checked buttons in the action were no longer checked. So, this duplicates your result. You may want to send a note to DW support making them aware of this.

As a work-around:

Here's a sample IMP that uses script in a button to disable multiple objects (in this case, other buttons).



To re-enable objects, add another button ("enable") with this script:

Kind Regards,

What happens if you Disable the Objects separately instead of with just one Action?

Could you put them into a Frame and disable them together?

Hi,

It looks like using 3 separate standard "disable" objects in the disable button, one for each of the 3 objects, retains these objects when saved with a new name. So, that will also work. (I didn't try the frame strategy, which could also work.)

So, plenty of options (a wonderful benefit of Opus: many ways to arrive at a result)!

Kind Regards,
