GUIElements that change their location

[Colin Richardson]

Hi All,

Now I can understand this behaviour is expected in most circumstances, but in this one it's a real pain.

We have quite detailed wireframes, which typically have group boxes within group boxes and then may have a button in it.  In the project browser they are all nested nicely.

We create screen navigation diagrams, where we drop a screen, and then only the GUIElement that triggers navigation to another screen, i.e. normally a button.

Unfortunately when we move that button, it then shifts the button to be the child of the screen - very very painful.  This then stuffs up the order in document generation.

Anyone know of a way to prevent this behaviour?  Have tried locking items, making them non-selected. No luck.

Ideas?

Thanks

Colin

If you hold down the Alt key while dragging one element onto another it should prevent the elements from nesting.

Dang, thought I'd tried that.

Many thanks
