74 Document handling

Note: When exporting images as slices, the chosen destination folder from the exports
property is ignored. All the sliced graphics must be in the same folder, and the
destination folder is that selected for the HTML file when you export the slices.

Stretches

You can use named objects to stretch other named objects, e.g. the text on a button.
Both the text and the button are named objects, with the text flagged as stretching the
button. When you change the length of the text (for example by typing in more
characters), the button automatically resizes to match.
When you choose STRETCHES properties, a check box to the right of object names shows
those objects you want to stretch. The arrow to the right of the check box shows if the
stretching options are set up (solid arrow) or not (hollow arrow). Click the arrow to display
the EXTEND DIALOG BOX which lets you select those objects from the list of named objects
to control the stretching. For each direction you can select if the size changes in the
same direction as the controlling object (EXTEND) or equally from the center (SCALE).

Undo and Redo

The undo command
"UNDO" cancels the effects of the last operation. To undo an operation:

• Click UNDO on the standard control bar.
• Or choose "EDIT" > "UNDO" (the exact wording tells you what the next undo step is, i.e.
undo scale).
• Or press "Ctrl + Z".
• Or press the comma key (in any tool except the TEXTTOOL).

You can repeat the undo command to step back through the sequence of previous
operations.

The redo command
Redo cancels the last undo command. To redo the last operation:

• Click the REDO button on the standard control bar.
• Or choose "EDIT" > "REDO" (the exact wording tells you what the next redo step is, i.e.
redo scale).
• Or press "Ctrl + Y".
• Or press the period (full stop) key (in any tool except the TEXTTOOL).
You can only redo immediately after undo. You cannot redo after changing the document
(for example, by moving or adding an object).
