110 Object Handling

If you don't want a copy of the repeating object on a page, just delete it from that page.
When edited, the repeating object is only automatically updated to those pages that
already have it. This means you can choose which of the pages in your document should
have the repeating object and which should not.

If you want a repeating object on just a few pages of a large website, you can:

1. First make your object repeat on all pages of your site, using "ARRANGE" >
"REPEATING OBJECT" > "REPEAT ON ALL PAGES".
2. Select one of the repeating objects and copy it to the clipboard ("Ctrl + C").
3. Hit the Delete key and choose the DELETE FROM ALL PAGES option when prompted.
4. Now simply paste the repeating object onto each page that needs a copy of it.

Editing the contents of a repeating object
When Designer Pro creates a repeating object, the repeating items are placed in a
containing 'repeating group', similar to a normal group. If you drill down to a layer
containing a repeating object in the PAGE & LAYER GALLERY, you can see that there's a
repeating group containing each repeating object on that layer.

Designer Pro places each repeating object inside a repeating group
If you want to edit an item inside this repeating group, press "Ctrl + click" on the item to
select it inside (on page 125) the repeating group. Alternatively if you go into a specific
tool you can usually click directly on any object that is applicable to that tool and it will be
selected inside its repeating group (or any other type of group). So for example you can
select a rectangle that’s inside a repeating group by simply going into the Rectangle tool
and then clicking on the shape.
