Trouble with States
I am having trouble with states. I want the icon to show in normal view but not in selected view. Instead I want color and text to show up. When I go to states on the shape, the icon shows on Normal...
The icons are not part of the shape, but pasted on the state while editing. Since the built-in states are overlays of Normal state, the selected state overlays the Normal State, and the pasted icon is then placed above it. You might be able to paste the icon on the shape and make a group of them, but groups don't play nicely with states, and I can't see that making you happy.
It may not be the easiest way but this works best:
Edit the shape, select both the shape and the icon, right click, and export as picture. Insert the exported picture, and give it a Selected shape. I did this with the multiple large bags of clothes in the sample.
Thank you so much for the help on this one. I created pictures and it
worked as desired. I could not have done it without your help.
