Remove Button Propertities for On/Off States

jabramson

I need to remove some on/off state information for lots of buttons. I can't figure out how to remove data, only change it (by change I mean select multiple buttons with the "apply to all" selected and make my changes). I don't see how to clear or delete that data.

What state info do you want to remove? Are you talking about text? Removing text seems to be easy and straightforward for multiple selected buttons, though I don't see how to easily do it for all buttons in a project, just a page at a time.

Text formatting like Style and Size. I have it set it the all states and want to use that, but it seems that if you set the on/off states it overrides the all states.

But, if you reset the "all states" font then it resets both the on state and off state fonts too. So, can't you just select the buttons, apply to all, and set the desired font and font size in all states?

Or, you can use edit/find/replace to change every occurrence of a particular font selection and size to a different font selection and size and I think this will apply to both on and off state values and you can apply this to a whole panel in one swell foop.

Will these techniques solve your problem? It appears to me to be a bit weird that once you set a value from null to something that you can't return it to null. Maybe there's a trick I am unaware of. No surprise there -- there are infinitely many tricks.
