    Disabling Layer Properties.

    Posted by Smith Smith on October 14, 2016 at 10:14 am

    Hey All,

    I’ve created a template of a Calendar for the company I work.

    There are some elements of the template that I don’t want to be altered, more specifically the SCALE of some layers, is there a way to disable the SCALE property but keep the POSITION. Usually I hide these layers if I don’t want them altered, but they need to move some elements around depending on location but the Scale needs to stay the same.

    Thanks

    [Penri Mainwaring] “There are some elements of the template that I don’t want to be altered, more specifically the SCALE of some layers, is there a way to disable the SCALE property but keep the POSITION.”

    you could use an expression to “lock” any value. for scale you can use [100,100] and once you do, any changes to the scale won’t reflect to the layer as long as the expression is active.
