Recent file list size
The File menu shows a list of the most recently loaded or saved files in its 'Open recent' sub-menu. This
list gives a quick way to reload any of those files. This option lets you change the number of files listed
(between 1 and 20 files).
Current layer always visible and editable
With this option selected, selecting a layer in the Page & Layer Gallery
automatically makes it visible and editable.
With this option unset, the visible and editable states of a layer remain unchanged when you select that
layer.
Ask before setting current attribute
This applies when changing a current attribute (this happens when you change an attribute with no
objects selected). With this option set, you are asked to confirm whether you want to change the
attribute. With this option unset, the change is made without confirmation.
Make groups be transparent as a whole.
See Transparency
for more on transparencies.
When applying transparency to a group of objects, by default Web Designer Premium will apply the
transparency to the group as if it were one object (i.e. you will not see individual transparencies within the
group). Unselecting this option will make Web Designer Premium add transparency to each object in the
group separately.
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
