go to specific layout of file?

[Rick Edwards]

Is it possible to have a button open a file and go to a specific layout of that file? I'm already opening a file, it's getting to the layout that I'm stumped on.

 

Any help?

 

Thanks.

In the document preferences

click on goto layout at start up

(choose the layout you want)

 

Or perform script at startup (in your startup script tell it what layout you want to go to)

[Rick Edwards]

The file with the layout I'm going to has multiple layouts and needs to default to the first one unless specified by the button on the other file. I guess I was hoping for a "go to layout of file" type of command.

 

Any ideas?

You are calling the layout B in file B from file A?

Do script step in B file to go to layout B.

Then call that script in B file from single line script in file A

In the file you wish to go to create script goto my layout

 

simple script=

 

go to layout [my layout]

 

 

now in the file you are coming from create a script to perform script in first file.

 

script =

perform script [external] [first file::go to my layout].
