Andy Broomell 535 Posted January 27, 2015 I want to be able to use the Eyedropper tool on Callout Objects, with the "Plug-In Parameters" option checked in the Eyedropper settings... WITHOUT it copying the text of one Callout to another. Share this post Link to post
0 Jeremy Best 41 Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) Hi @Andy Broomell, Did you try submitting your above sentiment in the Wishlist Forum? I came across your post while researching and verifying a bug with the Eyedropper tool in VW2018 SP4 (23.0.4) & VW2019 SP0 (24.0.0): EDIT: Of bug description: Attributes copied from any object and applied to a Callout using the Eyedropper tool effectively get applied - according to the resultant settings shown in the Attributes palette - BUT none of those attributes render onscreen except for the Fill Style. The most recent version I've found to be free from this condition is VW2017 SP5 (22.0.5). VW2018 SP4 & VW2019 SP0 feature this bug/behaviour. NOTE: As one might expect based on @Andy Broomell's comment, turning ON the Eyedropper tools preference 'Plug-in Parameters' results in all attributes transferring, but then so does the text/content as the leader line position/geometry. Bug report submitted: VB-154901 Edited October 7, 2018 by Jeremy Best Updated info and made grammatical corrections. Share this post Link to post
0 Andy Broomell 535 Posted October 5, 2018 Hi @Jeremy Best! The post was indeed in the Wishlist forum, but it was a long time ago so thank you for bumping. Essentially there needs to be a way to copy parameters like Bubble Style and Text Margin from one Callout to another without it also copying the text from one to the other. And to your point, I am also seeing a bug where eyedropping pen color isn't working properly for Callouts. Share this post Link to post
