Hi Jim,

When you paste any object, Rev can't know it is the same as a previous one you have pasted (even the ID is the same some properties could have been changed in the meantime in the source object). So it's a normal behaviour to see new objects created with new IDs allocated. To avoid this, you can copy/paste the first card then create new cards in the second stack and finally import the texts into the fields. When you create new cards, groups the background behaviour of which is set to true are only "placed" (see this command) and then keep the same ID.

Best Regards from Paris,

Eric Chatonet.

Hi everyone,

This has to be simple, but it has me stumped.

I am running rev 2.51 on WinXP

I am copying 20 cards from one stack file to a separate stack in another file. The cards have two objects I am interested in, an option menu button and a scrolling field. Selecting the option menu switches cards and displays the text of the field on that card. This all works fine in the original
stack.

In the original stack, the option menu has the same ID across all cards. (1784). The field also has the same ID across all cards.(1785). And the two objects are grouped and set as background. The option menu button is set to
Display name.

After I copy the 20 cards to anther stack in a separate file, everything looks the same (grouping, settings, etc.), however each option menu and field has a unique ID in each card. So, when I select an option from the option menu, it goes to the right card and displays the proper text in the field, BUT, the display name of the option menu button is "floating" and
random from card to card.

How do I copy the cards so that they are identical and work the same in both
stack files?
