Thread: templates for 5.0

is there anyway of updating my project? like a template or something? working on a project that require about 30 pages. don't want to change all 30 pages because it in a template style. thanks for your help.

AMS does have Background and Object Inheritage options. To find such do:

While in AMS with no objects selected:

1. Ctrl+Shift+ENTER (key)

2. Find the Inherit subsection of the settings dialog box

There you can pull from another page... Background and Objects

Is this what you are looking for?

thanks for the reply intrigued
i want to make 1 page and be able to duplicate the page about 30x. then i want to change the original home page & have it update the rest of the 30 page automatically. similiar to developing a website. right now if i want to made a change to the first page i have to go & update all 30 pages individually. very time consuming. any suggestions?

In your case, I'd suggest using page inheritance. . . you can inherit the background of a page, the objects, both, or neither.

Keep in mind of course that any code you enter onto individual pages will remain with those pages . . .

To use the same code on 30 pages, make a global function with the code, and call it from each page . . . then you can change the global function , and it will change all the pages.

There are endless possibilities to make your project 'globally updateable' <-- A Desmond term (well, maybe not . .. have you ever made up an already made-up joke? . . . anyways).

Hopefully the above at least gets you started. Of course, feel free to post back to this thread with any questions, or clarifications.

hi desmond, your advice worked. that's exactly what i was looking for. thanks.
