Creating a Composition Zones item
You can use three methods to create a Composition Zones item (and its corresponding
composition layout):
You can select multiple objects and then choose Item > Composition Zones > Create.
You can designate an entire layout as a Composition Zones item.
You can select the Composition Zones tool and manually outline the space for your
Composition Zones item.
The following topics show all three methods for creating a Composition Zones item,
in this case for exclusive use within one project (that is, a single-project composition
layout).
Creating a Composition Zones item from a selection of multiple items
To create a Composition Zones item based on a selection of multiple items:
1
Select the Item tool or a Content tool , press the Shift key, and select more
than one item.
2
Choose Item > Composition Zones > Create. A box that equals the size of the bounds
of the group replaces the group.
3
To finish creating the Composition Zones item, choose Item > Share, or display the
Content palette (Window menu) and click Add Item. Either way, the Shared Item
Properties dialog box displays.
Use the Shared Item Properties dialog box to name your composition layout and designate
availability.
4
Enter a name for the composition layout in the Name field.
5
Choose This Project Only from the Availability drop-down menu.
6
Check Show Tab in Project Window to provide access to the composition layout
from the layout tab at the bottom of the project window.
7
Click OK to save the composition layout.
