  1. Adding Custom Controls

Combining Custom Controls

Combining custom controls is a native part of expression library. When applying an expression to a property if the custom control already exists on the layer or master it will give you a pop-up asking if you would like to combine the controls

Combing the controls means that the new expression will use the already existsing effect. If you would prefer to not combine them. select no and a new effect will be created.
