  • same expression for several layer

    Posted by Pit Possum on April 6, 2009 at 6:47 pm

    hey guys..

    i have a problem…
    i have an illustartor file with about 200 layers…all small quads (like pixels) those need to be animated randomly in opacity and scale..
    is there the possibiltiy to make one “master” expression that effcts all the other layer?? or do i have to add the same expression to all 200 layers?

    thanks in advance!

    greets

    Adding an expression to many layers is pretty easy. Just apply it to one layer, select that property, Edit > Copy Expression Only, select the other layer, Edit > Paste.

    yeah i know it…but that means i had to copy /paste the exprseission about 200 times…therefor i was looking for that “master-expression” that controlls all layer 😉

    It shouldn’t. Copy once, select all other layers, paste once.
