To make it easier to see a larger area while dragging a tile, you can press the Z key after
you start dragging the tile to temporarily zoom out.
You can enable a snap grid to make it easier to organize the tile in straight lines and
columns.
To enable the snap grid
µ
Choose Snap to Grid from the Graphical tab’s Settings pop-up menu.
You may want to drag a tile to the Menu Editor. This is an easy way to link either a new
or an existing button in the current menu to the element being dragged.
To drag an element to the Menu Editor
1 Click the element’s tile and hold down the mouse button for a moment without moving
the tile.
A transparent tile appears.
2 Drag the transparent tile to the Menu Editor.
You can also drag multiple tiles to the Menu Editor by selecting them before holding
down the mouse button when the pointer is on one of them.
Using Distribute Objects
The distribute objects feature allows you to select a group of tiles and evenly space them
between each other using one of four methods:
• Horizontally: Only active when more than one tile is selected. Tiles in between the tile
furthermost to the left and furthermost to the right are positioned evenly horizontally.
• Vertically: Only active when more than one tile is selected. Tiles in between the tile
furthermost to the top and furthermost to the bottom are positioned evenly vertically.
• By Type: With no tiles selected, all tiles are affected; with one or more tiles selected,
only the selected tiles are affected. Arranges the tiles in evenly spaced rows and columns
based on their types. The type order is:
• Menus
• Layered menus
• Tracks
• Stories
• Slideshows
• Scripts
• Autolayout: With no tiles selected, all tiles are affected; with one or more tiles selected,
only the selected tiles are affected. The tiles are arranged based on connections, types,
and quantity.
