factory view talk transfer button properties

hi all,

ive defined some button properties perfect but later realized that these buttons were the wrong type, i want momentary instead of maintained and vice versa

is there anyway to transfer properties from a momentary button to maintained button? i dont wanna go thru and add all of these again if i dont have too

Unfortunately no, they are separate object types and they don't let you change that. You should be able to copy and paste some of the properties.

Perhaps if you exported to .XML then you might be able to change it from the XML editor but I suspect that is more work than just recreating the object.

take a look at this post. It was about the same issue. If you wish to try use the .xml
Operaghost's advice may be the best solution to minimize the chance of errors. If you try this method make a backup first.
