Maintain imported layer names
With this option set, layer information is preserved when you import templates or other files. With
Import layers into the active layer instead selected, all imported objects appear in the current layer
and the layering information in the incoming data is ignored. Import layers into new layers
will create a layer for each imported layer.
IMPORTANT: Note that you should not change this setting if you use any of the web templates in the
Designs Gallery
. Most web templates have multiple layers which are used to implement mouseover effects. These
typically have layers MouseOff and MouseOver and so when importing these designs it's important that
these layers are preserved and merged with the same layers in your document.
Marquee Object Selection
This option enables you to change the default setting for marquee selection (where you drag a selection
rectangle over the objects you want to select). So you can choose to have objects touching the selection
rectangle selected or only the objects wholly inside the rectangle.
Angle constraint
This applies when rotating or moving an object with "Ctrl" pressed.
You can either select from the menu or type in a value in degrees.
Document is intended to be a website
This option tells Web Designer MX Premium that the document is primarily intended to be exported as a
website. It subtly changes the behavior of the program in terms of how it handles links on objects. With
this option turned off, if you apply a link to an object which is inside a group, that link will do nothing in
the exported website because the whole group is exported as one image and so the link on just one of
the group's members is ignored when exporting the website. However with this option turned on, the link
is automatically promoted up to the group, just as if it had been applied to the group instead of to one of
its members. So for example if you inadvertently apply a link to the text on a button, instead of to the
whole button, with this option on the link is applied to the whole button for you. This option is on by
default in all web templates.
Show Windows compatible text lengths
See Browser text compatibility in the Text Handling
chapter.
Nudge size
This applies when moving objects using the arrow? keys on the keyboard.
This text box defines how far the object moves for each key press. If the document uses scaled units (for
example, 1inch to 1mile), this text box shows the distance in the scaled units.
When nudging, "Ctrl" and "Shift" increase the nudge distance by five and ten times, respectively.
Duplication distance
"Edit" > "Duplicate
" (Ctrl + D) creates a duplicate which is offset from the original object. These text boxes set the offset
distance.
Positive values create the duplicate above or to the right of the original object.
Negative values create the duplicate below or to the left.
