Containers

[tonik]

Hi,

I am a fairly new user and I am having trouble with containers. Does the container itself have to be on a certain layer or locked? I have three boxes, green, red and blue with the text for those colors written below. I want the blue text to go into the blue box, etc. and to be returned if it is put into the wrong color container. I am following instructions. It works for some of the words and not others. I know it's probably very simple, but I can't seem to get it correct! Thanks.

Make sure that everything is on the same layer. Check that your objects and your containers are all on the same layer. Middle is what I typically use.

If you look at older container threads, you will find lots of info. on how containers work. Check out this thread - http://www.prometheanplanet.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6679&highlight=containers. I have attached a how-to for containers on this thread that should take you step by step on how to set them up.+wave+

They need to be on the same layer
Also, the ones that are to be contained should display on top of the container. If not then right click on the object to be contained & send to front.
