Layer is hiding objects on base layer - even when I don't want to
Hi, Sarah!
When you create a new layer, the default behavior should be to show the objects on the base layer. You would have to open the Slide Layer Properties and enable the setting to hide the objects on a base layer.
If this isn't working correctly in your Storyline file, try opening a new blank file. Add a slide with a few objects, then add a layer. Is the layer automatically set to hide the objects on the base layer?
Tricia,
Thanks so much. I have wasted way too much time trying to figure this out on my own.
Alyssa -- Although this may not be a "default," I have no idea how it started to happen in my project. I have never used a layer to hide a base; and if I wanted to, it would have been by using the regular Slide Layer Properties dialog box.
This is a nasty trap that should not exist; or at least have some sort of an override so that it can be corrected from the Slide Layer Properties dialog box.
