Can Stance/Form switch change more than one bar?

Hello,
I have searched through the forum and feel iike this is an obvious question that I am somehow missing the answer to...

As nUI works for me, when I change form on my druid, only the top button bar changes. The next row down stays the same. Can the next row of buttons change as well?

For example, lets say I am PvPing, when I change into Kitty form, all the dps attacks show up front and center, but I would like key bear attacks to show up on the next row down left, and then heals on the bottom right.

Am I missing how to automate this? It has been a long time since I used the default gui, but that changes two rows, doesn't it?

Cheers!

nUI doesn't have the buttons do anything different to the way the standard blizzard buttons do.

When you switch stance/forms only the main action bar switches. For the most part this will not affect the other action bars unless you have a moonkin form. In that instance the bottom right bar holds your moonkin spells and you won't be able to use it for anything else.

However, Blizzard introduced something different with action bar switching when they introduced the dual spec option. Each spec can have its own set of bars which will switch automatically.

An example:
My priest has shadow and holy specs. Her shadow spec has the main action bar in use for all of her primary shadow spells with other spells in the 2 bars below. I also have emergency heal buttons in case I need to use them.
Her Holy spec has the main action bar containing the primary healing spells with others underneath and a few shadow spells for dps options when healing isn't able such as with the Loatheb fight.

It doesn't exactly answer your question in full but explains why nUI doesn't do what you expect.

No... only the main action bar changes and that's as Bliz designed it.

I am working on improving on that for the PTR and 3.2 patch.

That would be great, ever since Druids can perform any action on one click, regardless of form, we have a *lot* of buttons to be managing. I can see it being pretty static for raiding/farming, but not for feral PvP with the three active forms, not to mention the other's.

As an aside...

Is there a way to copy my Primary Spec nUI button configuration for when I first set up my Secondary spec? Instead of using two different trees, I have one config for raiding and another for PvP, the button layout is mostly the same...

Cheers!

When you first made your second spec up Blizzard automatically copied your main spec's action button set up. If you have changed them since you will need to change them in both set ups to reflect what you want them to do. Unfortunately they didn't set up an option to clone after the fact.
