Checkbox: Use this widget control to switch between two snapshots (parameter states).
Edit Mode: Click the Start button to enable snapshot recording. For more information
about recording snapshots, see Managing Parameter Snapshots.
Note: When you record a snapshot (using the Edit Mode button or the methods described
in Managing Parameter Snapshots), the affected parameters (those you modify in the
Inspector or via onscreen controls in the Canvas) are added to the widget. When you
finish recording a snapshot, new controls for the modified parameters appear in the
Widget Inspector. These parameters are duplicates of the same parameters that occur in
other Inspector panes. Parameters controlled by a rig display a special icon (a joystick)
on the right side of the parameter row in the Inspector.
Pop-up Menu
Pop-up menu widgets are similar to checkbox widgets but allow you to save more than
two parameter states (snapshots). Each item in a pop-up menu widget represents a
snapshot. When you choose an item in the pop-up menu, the affected parameters in
your project toggle to a different saved state.
The activation checkboxes in the Rig Inspector (highlighted blue when selected) and in
the Layers list (beside the pop-up menu widget) have no effect on the constituent
parameters of the pop-up menu.
Pop-up menu widgets contain the following controls in the Rig Inspector and Widget
Inspector:
Pop-up: Use this widget control to switch between multiple saved snapshots.
Rename: Use this button to enter a custom name for the item in the pop-up menu.
Add/Delete: Click the Add button (+) to add an item to the pop-up menu; click the Delete
button (–) to remove the item in the list. Each item represents a new snapshot.
Edit Mode: Click the Start button to enable snapshot recording. For more information
about recording snapshots, see Managing Parameter Snapshots.
