To rename a layer or layer set
1
In the Layers panel, double-click the layer name you want to change.
2 In the Rename Layer dialog box, type the new name and click OK.
Note: In Adobe Encore DVD, you can’t change the layer name prefixes of a button layer set (+), subpicture layers (=1),
(=2), or (=3), replacement layers (!), or thumbnail layers (%). You can edit the prefixes in Photoshop.
To move menu objects or layer sets
1 Open the menu that you want to modify.
2 In the Menu Viewer or Layers panel, use a selection tool to select the object or layer set you want to move. (See
“To select objects or a layer set” on page 85.)
3 In the Menu Viewer, do one of the following:
• Drag the button set or object in the menu using the appropriate selection tool. Shift-drag to constrain the
movement horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Alt-drag to create a copy and move it to a new location.
• To prevent a different object from being selected, click the Move tool in the toolbar, and then drag anywhere
in the Menu Viewer to move the selected object.
• Press an arrow key to nudge an object one pixel at a time. Press Shift+arrow key to move an object 10 pixels at a
time.
To select and move an object within a stack
In some cases, you may not be able to click directly on a layer to select it in the Menu Viewer because the layer is
obscured by overlapping layers. Using the context menu lets you select a layer within a stack. To prevent another layer
from being selected accidentally when you try to move the layer within a stack, use the Move tool.
1 Using a selection tool, right-click the stacked objects in the Menu Viewer.
2 Choose Select from the context menu, and then choose a named object in the list.
3 Click the Move tool , and then drag the object to the desired location. (Ctrl+right-click to view a menu of the
layers beneath the cursor.)
You can also select an object using the Layers panel.
To cut, copy, or duplicate a menu object
1 Open the menu that you want to modify.
2 In the Menu Viewer or Layers panel, select the object.
3 Do one of the following:
• To remove the object, choose Edit > Clear, or press the Delete key.
• Toduplicatetheobject,chooseEdit>Duplicate.AdobeEncoreDVDduplicatestheobject,offsettingitfromthe
original. If the object was in a layer set, it copies the object to the top layer of the same layer set.
• To copy the object and move it to a new location, Alt-drag the object.
• To copy the object and paste it into the same menu, choose Edit > Copy. Then choose Edit > Paste.
• To copy the object and paste into a different menu, choose Edit > Copy. Then open the other menu in the Menu
Viewer, and without selecting anything, choose Edit > Paste. The object is pasted in the same position as in the
original menu.
