Can I copy hot spots?

[Guest]

Can I copy hot spots from one page to another.

I have a page with several drawings on several pages and have drawn hot
spots on each drawing that opens a larger version of each drawing. I
periodically have to make changes to the page with the drawings and of
course, end up redoing all the hot spots. I don't suppose there's a way to
copy those hot spots from an old page to the new???

Thanks for any suggestions. Diana

Why not use the FP Include Page feature, so the image is control from one
page? Anytime you make a change to the included page, it updates all pages
you have placed it on.

see the FP help files for include page information.

Yes, but you have to copy the image and hotspots together, but as Tom suggested consider using the
FP Include Page component to share it between pages.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to your responses.
I don't think I was clear in my original posting and now I'm not sure how to
make it clear. Here's what I did. I had a page of drawings in CorelDraw. I
exported the entire page with several drawings on it as one jpg. I then
drew the hot spots over each of the drawings, that will then open the
hyperlinked page, to a single drawing.

When I make a minor change to the full page of drawings (in coreldraw), I
then re-export to a single jpg and have to redo all the hotspots. It would
be nice to be able to copy the hotspots from the previous version. There are
175 drawings, (approx. 12 per page) and it takes a lot of time to keep them
all current and correctly hyperlinked. That means there are lots of file to
go through before I can select the hyperlinked page every time one of these
sheets changes.

Does that explain it better. I don't think a page include will work for
this purpose. When the page changed, I'd still have to redraw all the
hotspots and enter the hyperlinks.

If the replacement drawings (images) is/are the same size and the hotspot dimensions are exact, just
give it the image file the same name as the one being replaced. It the dimensions of the hotspots
are different on the new image, then you will have to adjust/re-draw/re-link each hotspot.
