Same as. Was there before but now it isn’t.

Seems like you can’t bind a mode to layer until there are some variables actually being used within that layer.

(To test this, create a blank frame with auto layout – no mode icon is visible on the layer. As soon as you apply a number variable to the frame padding the mode icon appears.)


Hi, I’m having this issue, but this test didn’t work for me, the icon isn’t showing.

Hi there,

Thanks for the post. I just want to clarify, are you inquiring about a mode icon for layers? If so, you can switch their modes if there is at least one variable applied and the variable has multiple modes.

If there’s something essential that I’m overlooking, could you provide a bit more detail, please?

Many Thanks!

I’m sorry, I was doing it the wrong way. I wanted to bind a boolean variable to my layer and I was expecting to see a icon where I could do it when I should, using the mouse, right click on the eye icon. Sorry for the inconveniece.
