Replacing an Assigned Setting with a Different Setting
After you have assigned a setting to a job, you might find a more suitable setting and
decide to change the target’s setting to the new one. You can use several methods to
change a target’s setting. All of these methods leave the destination and output filename
settings as they are.
To replace a setting already assigned to a target with a different setting
Do one of the following:
µ
Choose Target > Change Setting. This opens the setting selection dialog where you can
choose a new setting and click Add to assign it to the selected target.
µ
Control-click the target and choose Change Setting from the shortcut menu. This opens
the setting selection dialog where you can choose a new setting and click Add to assign
it to the selected target.
µ
Select the new setting in the Settings tab and drag it to the target.
Note: With all the above methods, if you select multiple settings, only the top one is
assigned to the target.
