Autorun: Copy and paste Layers in the same or different programs

[[Ch...]]

Hi All,

Is there a way to copy and paste layers in Autorun? I have a program which needs multiple pages of same layer with different links. Every help is appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi Chandra,

If you a little bit familar with editing ASCII based files ( use your favourite editor ) then make a copy of your current xxx.arn file and open it. You can see a simple structure in top -down order. Copy your layer you would like to multiply, edit the differences and append it to the section of which your is defined.
Have in mind, that the file structure is a little bit stupid: Simply top to down as I wrote. I think you will understand the major structure.

Have fun 🙂

A few comments...

At top level you will see the layer definition of the top layer like:
[DESK NAME :Start]
[Branch NAME : First Branch]
[BOUNDS : ( Some definition of size and position of your top level branches )
...
next Branch
[Branch NAME : Second Branch]
[BOUNDS : ( Some definition of size and position of your top level branches )

.... and so on

Now the definition of the firstt branch. Be aware of the order...
[DESK NAME : First Branch]
[INSPECTION NAME : (Your program name... )
....
[INSPECTION NAME : ( If you defined more than one program within this layer... )
....

Now, if defined, you see the next Branch of your top level layer
[DESK NAME : Second Branch]
[INSPECTION NAME : (Your program name... )
....
[INSPECTION NAME : ( If you defined more than one program within this layer... )
....
