3. Choose one of the DV Menus > Align options:
- Distribute Horizontally: Moves the objects horizontally. If the Relative to Menu
option is selected, the left-most and right-most objects align to the Text Safe guide.
If the Relative to Menu option is not selected, the left-most and right-most objects
do not move.
- Distribute Vertically: Moves the objects vertically. If the Relative to Menu option
is selected, the top-most and bottom-most objects align to the Text Safe guide. If the
Relative to Menu option is not selected, the top-most and bottom-most objects do
not move.
Moving menu objects forward and back
Each object you add to a menu exists in its own layer, and you can stack objects on top of
one another; for example, you can move the text label for a button on top of the button
graphic.
However, if you create the text label before you add its button graphic, the text will be
hidden by the button, and you must therefore either move the text forward in the stack, or
move the button backward in the stack. You can move objects forward and backward one
layer at a time, or send them directly to the top or bottom of the stack.
To move a menu object forward or back:
1. On the menu displayed in the Preview window, select the object you want to move.
2. Choose from the DVD Menus > Order options:
- Send Backward or Send to Back: Moves the object behind other objects.
- Bring Forward or Bring to Front: Moves the object in front of other objects.
Rotating and flipping objects
You can rotate any menu object in 90-degree increments. You can also flip objects
horizontally and vertically.
To rotate or flip an object:
1. On the menu displayed in the Preview window, select the object you want to rotate or
flip.
2. Choose from the DVD Menus > Rotate or Flip options:
- Rotate Left 90
°
: Rotates the object counter-clockwise.
- Rotate Right 90
°
: Rotates the object clockwise.
- Flip Horizontal: Inverts the object and turns it upside-down.
- Flip Vertical: Inverts the object while keeping it right-side up.
