Hi - when you want to select the frame to which you want to anchor your aura, it can be done by either clicking or writing.
For exemple i can either click or write WeakAuras: Player Health which is my aura; But can it be done for Blizzard frames? to be specific i want to anchor some of my debuffs auras icon to ^boss 1 2 3 etc.
But so far i'm only able to do it through modifying X Y manually it's anchored to something else
#Choosing anchor for weakaura : can it be a blizzard one?

Don't anchor it to specific, anchor it to the unit frame. Also don't create multiple auras, create one tracking the boss unit.

In blizzard edit mode when i click on the boss frame rectangle i cant select it
What should i write?
Also a bit confused about how one aura is enough
If it's a 2 boss fight and i'm for example a boomkin, i need to track my moonfire on both boss1 and boss2
that can be done in 1 aura?

Yes
Unit boss
Autoclone
It will now automatically track it on all bosses. And anchor it to the boss frame, if you select anchor to unit frame

I'm trying on primal council and it doesn't seem to work (nothing appears?)
could you check if this is what you meant please? https://wago.io/8nC4Kw-n-

are your bossframes close to right border?
it may show out of screen
this would display it left of frame
tender jay
my boss frames are right in the middle of screen but checking
winter's chill is clearly on the target but it's nowhere on the screen
this is the blizzard default frames - which is whati'm looking for
tender jay
will try but is it normal that in wa options the location of the stuff is near my old player health anchor and not the blizzard aura frames
even with frame strat high nothing
I tried something else "Select frame" and clicked on the only frame i could find which was Boss1TargetFrame
naturally it works but the icons are all overlapping
But when i anchor to "Unit Frames" whether there is set parent to anchor or not nothing appears
i triled fiddling with Unit count >0 Match count >0 or nothing since it wasnt mentionned - nothing seems to work
i'll just do multiples auras it's fine
tender jay
i finally got around a solution that doesn't seem the intended way of using the tools but oh well at least it does use the auto clone feature
anyways thanks !
(using dynamic groups)
ocean sinew
could you export it?
tender jay

if boss 2 has it and not boss 1 it will show on wrong frame
tender jay
oh ..
rip
how come it just didnt work the way original way
it really feels like i did as spaten mentionned
ocean sinew
i don't know why anchor to unitframe isn't working for you
but a workaround could be to have 5 auras like this
this one anchored to bossframe 1
tender jay
ye that was my original idea
ocean sinew
and next one track boss2 + anchor to boss2
tender jay
but then spaten suggested auto clone to have 1 aura for all
ocean sinew
yes that's proper solution when anchor to unitframe works fine
tender jay
ye..
idk
i see clearly 2 auras when debuffing 2 bosses but they're overlapping
and they're clearly not where they should be
its as if they're anchored to the pure centr of screen
while i do have anchored to unit frames
oh my god
is it because i was creating all my auras in a group called Attempt which was anchored to screen parent group
AAAAA
