    Hi Anonymous 

     

    I really wish there was a toggle bookmark button.  That aside, you need to make it so that when bookmark A is active the image that points to bookmark B is visible while the one for A is hidden and vice-versa. All the objects (visuals and images) must be selected prior to updating either of the bookmarks.

Hi Alex,

This usually happens because the bookmark was not created while the correct state of the ON/OFF images was selected in the Selection pane.

For toggle buttons to work, you must:

✅ 1. Set up the Selection Pane correctly

Show only the ON image for the ON bookmark, and hide the OFF image.
Then do the opposite for the OFF bookmark.

✅ 2. Create the bookmarks after setting visibility

Bookmarks capture the visibility state at the moment you create them.
So yes you need to select/hide the correct images in the Selection pane first, then create/update the bookmark.

✅ 3. Turn off “Data” and “All visuals”

Good that you already disabled those.
Only Display should be selected in the bookmark options.

✅ 4. Add the Action to the image

Select the image → Format → Action →

  • Type: Bookmark
  • Bookmark: choose the correct one (ON or OFF)

Common mistake

If bookmarks were created before the visibility was set, clicking the image will do nothing because the bookmark does not contain the correct visibility state.
Just update the bookmarks:

  • Arrange visibility
  • Go to View → Bookmarks
  • Click the … next to the bookmark → Update

After that, the toggle should work properly.

If you want, share a screenshot of your Selection pane and bookmark list and I can tell you exactly what needs adjusting.
