To place objects from the Library panel into 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 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, Adobe Encore DVD 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.

To convert an object to a button
1 Open the menu that you want to modify.
2 In the Menu Viewer or Layers panel, select the object you want to convert to a button. Select multiple objects to
convert them all to buttons at the same time or select a layer set to convert the entire set into a button.
3 Choose Object > Convert To Button (or click the Button column next to the image layer in the Layers panel).
Adobe Encore DVD creates a layer set with the prefix denoting a button set (+) attached to the name. It places the
object into the layer set and creates a subpicture for the button. (If you converted a layer set, it creates a subpicture
layer only if one doesn’t already exist).
