Re: Mass expression removal
by Trent Armstrong (pxlguy) on Jan 15, 2008 at 8:25:58 pm

When you first click on the stopwatch to create an expression the base information for that property is the default information inside the expression. So clicking on the Anchor Point stopwatch puts "anchorPoint" in the expression field. That just references the information that is provided in the entry fields for x, y, and z (the numbers you would normally adjust to change the Anchor Points position.

If you accept this for the expression, then it just reads the x, y, and z coordinates and the property behaves as if it doesn't have any expression applied at all.

Let's say you have an expression for the Anchor Point of 100 layers. ("you have an expression for the Anchor Point of 100 layers!")

If you want to get rid of the expressions for all the layers, first clear the expression for one layer and then opt+click or alt+click the stopwatch again to get the default expression.

Next, copy that expression only, select your other layers and paste the expression to all the layers. That effectively removes all of the calculations and returns each layers current coordinates.

I hope this helps!
