Multiple Artboards #8

Closed realmofadam closed 7 years ago

realmofadam commented 7 years ago

My AI template contains multiple artboards with multiple objects with the same names (see screenshot for more clarity). My hope was to use the script to import variables and have them apply to all of the instances of the objects. If this is not possible, might there be a workaround that is not occurring to me?

Thank you for all of your hard work with this script! I'm hoping I can get it to apply to my situation.

Yea you just do it, what's stopping you?

Oh, I know! Make sure your placeholder text does not say the name of your variables. This is a very common problem: your names you see in layers panel are not really names. They are previewing your text. Only if your text box text is different, can you "really" name your text box. Yes , I know this sounds about as reasonable as it does, but once you've learned this little gotcha, you're good to go.
