Saving a Previously Saved Card Design
After making changes to an existing card design, save your changes by clicking the
Save button on the toolbar, or on the File menu, click Save. Your changes are auto-
matically saved to the file. To save the design with a new filename, on the File menu,
click Save As and follow steps 2 and 3 above.
IMPORTANT: If you open a GuardDraw file (GDR) and then save it without changing the
filename, you will overwrite that file and will no longer be able to open that file using
GuardDraw even though it will still have the .GDR extension. If you need to keep your
old GDR or DGN files, always save with a new filename.
Importing or Removing a Card Background
Card backgrounds consist of graphics (such as bitmap images), which are created in
draw or paint programs. The background is the graphical “landscape” against which the
various card design objects (such as images or text objects) are placed.
Note: You can also apply these features to Back, Header and Footer layouts. On the
View menu, click Show.
Importing the Card Background
To import a card background, follow these steps:
1. On the File menu, click Layout Properties. You can also click the Layout Properties
button on the toolbar, or double-click the layout.
2. Select the Front or Back tab.
3. In the Background area, click Load. The Open dialog box appears.
4. In the File name field, type the name, path, and extension of the background file (or
use the buttons to browse to your file).
5. Click OK. The Enhance, Delete and Save As buttons are enabled.
6. (Optional) Make any modifications to the image. See “Enhancing the Card Back-
ground” for more information about the enhancement options.
7. Click OK. The card background is placed on the front or the back of the card
design (depending on which was selected).
