Apple DVD Studio Pro 4 - Manual (Page 284)

Auto Assign uses the following rules when configuring the navigation:
• It assigns every button a navigation setting. This is an advantage, because you may
accidentally skip a button when manually assigning navigation, resulting in orphaned
buttons.
• The navigation loops through all buttons. When you reach the edge of a menu and
press the same arrow button on the remote again, you jump to the menu buttons in
the next row at the opposite edge. This means that if you keep pressing any of the
arrows, you will eventually get to all menu buttons.

Setting Button Navigation with Continuous Auto Assign
The Menu Editor includes a Continuous Auto Assign feature that updates the navigation
of all buttons on the menu each time you add a new button or move an existing one.
You are unable to manually assign button navigation while the Continuous Auto Assign
feature is active.
To enable Continuous Auto Assign
µ
Choose Auto Assign Buttons Continuously from the Menu Editor’s Settings pop-up menu.
The Continuous Auto Assign feature remains enabled until you choose it again to disable
it.
Unlike using the Auto Assign feature, you can enable the Continuous Auto Assign feature
before the buttons are in their final positions—you can even enable it before you have
added any buttons to the menu.
Right-to-Left Reading Mode
Auto Assign and Continuous Auto Assign have a Right-to-Left Reading option, designed
for use with titles whose viewers are used to reading right-to-left (such as Farsi and
Hebrew). To use the Right-to-Left option, choose the appropriate setting in the Menus
pane in DVD Studio Pro Preferences.
