ENCORE CS3 166 User Guide • Drag an element from the Project panel to the Flowchart. Note: If you can't drag a file from the Project panel, make sure it's been converted to an element type. For example, you can't drag a movie file, but you can right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the movie file, choose New Timeline, and then drag the resulting timeline to the Flowchart. • Drag the pick whip from an element in the active panel to another element. The target element may be in the unused panel or the project panel. Encore adds the element to the Flowchart and links it appropriately. • Drag a file (or multiple files) from Windows Explorer or the Mac OS Finder, or an item from the Encore Library panel, to the Flowchart. Encore places the item in the Flowchart, creating an Encore element from the imported asset or library item. Change links and properties in the Flowchart You can use the Flowchart in tandem with the Properties panel to change links or other properties of an element. See also "Project navigation and links" on page 152 Edit links in the Flowchart 1 Select the element whose link you want to modify. 2 In the Properties panel, drag the pick whip from the Link field to the element representing the new link destination. Encore updates the link and refreshes the Flowchart panel appropriately. You can also manage links by dragging. (See "Set navigation in the Flowchart" on page 165.) Change asset properties in the Flowchart ❖ Select an item and modify its settings in the Properties panel. When you change an object's properties, all aliases of that object in the Flowchart change. Rearrange items in the Flowchart Encore automatically populates the Flowchart as you create elements and link them together. You can also add items to the Flowchart manually, by dragging. Manually placed items include a drop shadow for easy identification. You can move both manually and automatically placed items or let Encore rearrange manually placed items automatically. The distinction between manually and automatically placed items applies only when working in the Flowchart. The layout state of an object (auto or manual) does not influence links or any other object attribute. Move items in the Flowchart ❖ Select an object using the Move tool and drag it to a new location. You cannot change the position of an alias. When you move an element manually, any automatically placed elements attached to it move along with it. Rearrange items automatically ❖ In the Flowchart, do one of the following: • To automatically rearrange a single item, right-click it (Windows) or Control-click it (Mac OS) and choose Auto- Layout from the context menu that appears.
