Object Handling 131
Page & Layout Designer places each repeating object inside a repeating group
If you want to edit an item inside this repeating group, press "Ctrl + click" on the item
to select it inside (on page 100) the repeating group. Alternatively if you go into a
specific tool
you can usually click directly on any object that is applicable to that tool
and it will be selected inside its repeating group (or any other type of group). So for
example you can select a rectangle that’s inside a repeating group by simply going
into the Rectangle tool and then clicking on the shape.
Alternatively if you go into a specific tool you can usually click directly on any object
that is applicable to that tool and it will be selected inside its repeating group (or any
other type of group). So for example you can select a Quickshape that’s inside a
repeating group by simply going into the Quickshape tool and then clicking on the
shape.
As with any other edits made to a repeating object, any edits you make inside a
repeating group are applied to all instances of that repeating object on other pages.
Locking a repeating object
You can lock a repeating object right clicking it and choosing LOCK REPEATING OBJECT.
Once locked, the object is not selectable. But editing any other copies of that
repeating object on other pages, which aren’t locked, will change all copies, including
the locked copy.
Stopping objects repeating
Right click an object and choose STOP UPDATING to turn off the repeating nature of an
object, or all of its copies in your document. Choosing
STOP UPDATING from the
ARRANGE menu also allows this.
