I created a file with a %0 used for variable text.
I used the array function and created an array of objects which works as it should. Each %0 is replaced with a line from the CSV file.
However, if I use a duplicate or copy the %0, I now get a a duplicate of the copied text. It does not auto-increment as you’d expect.
Top line is as expected from using array tool. Bottom line is from copying the one object and then duplicating and or cut/paste. This happens in both 1.7.08 and latest 2.0rc8
That is correct. It is an exact copy. It will not auto increment there because you copied an existing item. If you need more copies why don’t you make them using the array tool?
If sdding with the array tool doesn’t meet your needs you can change the value of a copied item by using the offset function to call the specific line from the csv file.
I found this when I was attempting to create 50 items. I didn’t create enough, so I copied and pasted.. My problem is that each of the items will have 1 of 4 differant designs in them. When I created 4 differant items and then copied, I was getting duplicate text from the csv instead of a new line from the csv. I actually discovered this last year. I had an order for 75 badges. Which I setup on a sheet and cut, then they came back and wanted 10 more. This caused me grief creating them as I cut/pasted from my original’s. I just spent the time to figure out why this occurred because I have time todo so this time.
