Editing menu objects
Selection tools
The toolbox contains two selection tools for objects:
Selection tool Selects an entire button set (a button, its text, and subpictures together) so that it can be manipu-
lated as a unit.
Direct Select tool Selects individual layers so that they can be manipulated on their own.
Note: The Move tool does not select objects. The Move tool is used for moving objects after you select them. (See “To
move menu objects or layer sets” on page 87.)
Selecting objects
A. Selected button B. Selected layer
When selecting objects, remember that each object is on a separate layer and that the layers are stacked one on top
of another. Using the selection tools, you can select objects on lower layers as long as you click at a point where no
other object overlaps. Using the Layers panel, you can easily select objects individually even when several elements
overlap.
To select objects or a layer set
1 Open the menu that you want to modify.
2 Do one of the following:
• Click an object directly in the Menu Viewer using either the Selection tool to select a button or the Direct Select
tool to select a layer. Shift-click each additional object that you want to select.
• Using the Selection tool, drag a box (or marquee) around one or more objects in the Menu Viewer.
• In the Layers panel, click the object’s layer or the layer set. Shift-click each additional layer or layer set that you
want to select.
Selection handles appear on all the selected items in the Menu Viewer. When you select a button, a heavy outline
appears. This outline encompasses all elements within the button.
