mailstarinc Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Built in to FusionPro is the SetBodyPageUsage(name, usage) function(?) which returns a boolean that says if the page will be composed. I was wondering if it would be possible to create an equivalent that determines whether a text box is composed. I looked through the Rules System Guide, but didn't immediately see anything that existed...so I figured it'd be best to ask here. I have a job that has certain text boxes that should only be composed based upon which version of a letter the client wants to produced. My previous way of handling this had a lot of redundant code that significantly slowed the project – this feels like a way to potentially ease up that issue.

ThomasLewis Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 What you are looking for is this: FindTextFrame("Frame Name").suppress = true; On newer versions of FusionPro you can also group them in the Document Overview palette and then use: ShowFrameGroup("Group Name", false) or HideFrameGroup("Group Name") 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having frame groups that are hidden/shown definitely speeds up the composition process. It's not as fast as I would like for it to be, but it did take the time to compose 633 records from 01:13.21 to 00:47.68, so this definitely feels like a good basepoint for me to start at.
