RE: Custom Property Sets using the Wizard

Hi Marc-Andre - I realise that - but when I refresh as you say, it does not refresh the changes into the PPG - no matter what I do, it stays as it was before the edit!!!!!  We used to have the same thing with Custom Paramter sets, when modifying the spdl file to setup a nice layout or whatever, it would not reflect in the actual PPG - you had to save the scene, do a dance or something like that, then re-open it and presto - can't remember offhand!!!

Hi Sandy:
 
Once the code is generated you can no longer use the wizard to update the custom prop with new parameters. You have to edit the source file directly. Once you're done with the update, don't forget to refresh the PPG by right-clicking in the top grey area.

HI All again - Jeepers more questions today than I have ever asked - anyway - here goes, If I create a Custom Property using the Wizard, and then later on need to add parameters to it, after setting expressions etc..blah blah - I edit the saved plugin code by right click >editing then save it, but when I do refresh, it does not update the property I am using - If I edit again, the changes are in the saved file, but do not reflect in the property page at all - even when I try to unload the plugin using the plugin manager and recache it etc...nothing I do makes it update - I have to delete the property in the explorer and re-add it - thus losing all my expression and links - is there any magic that I am missing here???? I remember there was something similar with Custom Parameter sets, and modifying the spdls - there was a trick to it, But I can't remeber it, and I am not sure if this might be different????

Thanks

Sandy
