Tips for setting up objects with states
The graphic objects that have states have a States tab in their Properties dialog box.
For details about the options in the States tab, see Help.
Copy and past properties from one state to another
Often, you’ll want most of the properties to be the same from state to state, with only one
or two settings changing to distinguish the different states.
To simplify setting up states when many of the properties are the same, you can copy and
paste settings from one state to another. For details, see Help.
Add and remove states
Some graphic objects have a configurable number of states. For these objects, you can use
the Insert State and Delete State buttons in the States tab, to add and remove states without
returning to the General tab. The “Number of States” setting on the General tab is
automatically updated.
For more information about the Insert State and Delete State buttons, see Help.
