ENCORE CS3 65 User Guide See also "About replacement layers" on page 93 "Library panel overview" on page 61 "Move objects in a menu" on page 71 Add objects from the Library panel to a menu 1 Open the menu to which you want to add a Library panel element. 2 In the Library panel, select the set you want to view from the Set menu, and then click any of the icons to display the items for that type. For example, click the Toggle Display Of Buttons icon to display only buttons. Shift-click any of the icons to view multiple categories. Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac OS) any of the icons to view all categories. 3 Select the desired item in the Library panel, and either click the Place button or drag the item from the panel to the Menu Viewer. Repeat until you have placed all the items you need. If you click the Place button repeatedly, Encore aligns buttons in a grid, starting along the left edge of the title-safe guide. You can then select them and move them as a group. 4 Position and resize the items as needed. Add assets from the Project panel to a menu 1 Create or open a menu. 2 Drag the asset (such as a video file, timeline, or menu) from the Project panel to the menu in the Menu Viewer. If you drag a timeline or slide show to a blank area in the menu, Encore creates a button that is set as the default button for the set selected in the Library panel, and links it to the destination. If you drag a video file, a timeline is also created. If you drag such an asset to an existing button, its contents and link are replaced. Add still images to the menu background You can include still images in a menu as part of the background. 1 Open an existing menu or create a new one. 2 In the Project panel, drag the desired image to the Menu Viewer. 3 Using the Direct Select tool , position and size the image as necessary. (If you want to use the still image as a button, select the image and choose Object > Convert to Button.) Note: You can also drag an image from Adobe Bridge CS3 directly to the menu. Use guides to position menu items Guides help you position items in menus. You can add, move, remove, or lock guides, and turn them on or off. Guides are visible only in the Menu Viewer. You do not see them when previewing or in the final product. Guides have an optional setting that makes objects you drag snap to them. The selection boundary and the center point of objects, as well as the baseline of type, snap to the guides. You place guides at pixel locations in the menu, the zero point being the upper-left corner of the menu.
