Navigation (Comments) Shadow vars?

Post by Travis »

I'm interested in having the same navigation buttons on several different views. Say, I would have Button1--> View1 and Button2 --> View2. I know I can just copy and paste these comments into each of the views and it works. Is there a way to have "shadow comments"? That way, if I want Button1 to point to View3, I would only have to change it in one place and not every view?

TIA,
TF

To do that set up a template view with the things that you want to appear in all the views. Navigation control is the most common use of template views.

Is there a way to have more than one template view?

There is only one template view. You might be able to achieve what you want by making a copy of the whole model and switching between two versions of it by specifying the alternate model name as an external navigation link. (Of course I don't really know what you want to achieve, just guessing).
