Question & Answer


Question

Is there a way to merge Object Text?

Answer

You can create a new object whose Object Text consists of the Object Text of one or more objects in the same or another module.

To merge object text:
Open the module that contains the objects whose Object Text you want to merge. Navigate to  Tools -> Functions -> Merge Objects .

A list of all the objects in the current module is displayed. Select the ones whose Object Text you want to merge. Specify where you want to create the new object:

  • In the Target module box, type the name of the target module, or use Browse to locate it. You must specify the path to the module from its nearest ancestor project.
  • Open the target module and select the object you want to create the new object below or after.
  • In the Merge Objects window, use the New position radio buttons to specify where you want to create the new object in the target module: 
  • Click After to create the new object at the same level as, and immediately after, the current object, Click Below to create the new object one level below the current object.

If you want to create links between each of the source objects and the new object:

  • Select the Create links check box.
  • Use the drop-down list to select the direction of the links. Click OK.
