Named objects

**letsgofishing** · 01 June 2021, 10:26 AM

Is there a way to see a list of all the named objects (just the names) used in a website?
I've changed the names of some of the objects and when I go to the "Link to Anchor" block it's really messy (and confusing)

If you use XDP, go to Utilities/Galleries/Name Gallery. XWD, even the premium version, doesn't have a Name Gallery.

LGF, in XDPX & Pro+, you have access to the Names gallery.

In your products, the list of Names appears in the Link to Anchor, where they are listed in last-used order and in the Utilities > Names box & Web Animation > Reveal/Scroll > Trigger object name where they are in alphabetical order.

Thanks Boy

-all those years ago I should have gone for XDPX instead of WDP and P&GD) and Acorn for the tip

I've deleted the unwanted rectangles that served as anchor links, but when I go to the nav bar (for the used shapes) and check the anchor links, it still shows all the old ones too. Utilities>Names just shows the text for that particular anchor block.

Thanks once again.

What happens if you close the file then re-open it. Does the deleted names still appear lgf?

For those starting off, here is an approach that is OTT but stops you getting lost: CSS - Pixie Anchoring.xar

Hi Egg - doesn't change anything - the thing is you can't delete an object name - only remove if from the list.
I'll just live with it

LGF, @Egg is right. You need to delete the allocated Name from each and every object.
When you close and re-open the XDA, you find it is removed from all lists.

If you have used it in any Links, the links just return # as Link to anchor is still active.
