Bookmark buttons not working on ctrl click

Hi

 

I was experimenting with bookmarks, making visuals appear and disappear. I set up a couple of bookmarks, created a couple of buttons to trigger them. Then I held ctrl and clicked them, but it didn't work. It just selects the button, drawing size handles on them. What am I doing wrong?

I'm using December 2023 version.

Aha! That was odd. I hadn't created text in the button, I was using the title to add the text instead. The button doesn't work unless you add text! Thanks!

Hi @JamesNewcombe 

 

have you created the action for the required button to show/hide? if not then you should create that for a required bookmark.

Based on an old thread : 

 

If you use a button + bookmark jump in desktop you need Ctrl+ click; but if you pubilc to service. Just click; And the following link is consistent;

That's the odd thing. I am pressing ctrl and clicking, but it's only selecting the button for sizing, not triggering the bookmark.
