Assets

Working with assets

Assets are created from objects or groups of objects. Once selected on the page, these objects and groups can be added to the Assets panel. When a new assets category is created, this creates a subcategory for you, ready to drag objects to.

Organizing assets

Categories can be created at any time to help you organize your assets. They are then listed in the pop-up menu at the top of the Assets panel. Each category can accommodate an unlimited number of subcategories. A typical example, would be a category name of 'MyAssets', containing subcategories such as 'Buttons', 'Icons', 'Toolbars', etc.

You can import assets directly into the Assets panel at any time.

To create a new category:

On the Assets panel, tap Panel Preferences and choose Add Category.

To create a new subcategory:

On the Assets panel, select the parent category for the proposed subcategory, then tap Panel Preferences and choose Add Subcategory.

To store an asset:

Select one or more objects or groups on the page or via the Layers panel.
On the Assets panel, tap Panel Preferences on the Asset subcategory you want to save the asset into, then choose Add Asset from Selection.

To add an asset to the page:

Do one of the following:

Hold down and drag an asset's thumbnail from the Assets panel directly onto the page.
Tap to select an asset thumbnail, then choose Insert from the pop-up menu.
