I created an annotate box and I set it to interactive off and closed the parameters. Now I need to change something! How can I select annotate now? I’m on a mac. Oops!
Drag a selection box around it.
Is there a way to toggle the parameter between selections? When I try and just select the corner the parameter box doesn’t come up.
Anyone know a solution to this? I don’t see any way to open the parameters dialog with this locked and selecting it doesn’t work.
Your easiest way will probably be to right-drag to box select all the way around the annotate. Then you can deselect all the other nodes and you should end up with the par dialog for the annotate.
The other method is to open the textport and do op('<path to annotate>').openParameters().
To figure out the path to the annotate you can do op('<path to annotate parent>').findChildren(type=annotateCOMP). Unless you have a lot of annotates, in which case you can do something fancier like this to search: [(o.path, o.par.Titletext) for o in op('<path to annotate parent>').findChildren(type=annotateCOMP)]
It’s so weird. When I try the textport the annotate (annotate1) doesn’t even show up. I dropped in a second annotate and the textport worked fine and opened those annotate2 parameters right up:
python >>> op(‘project1/annotate1’).openParameters()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 1
AttributeError: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘openParameters’
python >>> op(‘project1/annotate2’).openParameters()
Haha so I’m guessing that you were messing with parameters and turned on “Utility” as well. This setting hides the op from normal searches.
Try: op(‘project1/annotate1’, includeUtility=True).openParameters()
That did it! Thank you!
