Presets can be used as templates so you can import any number of
styles from them and apply them into the active project. To select a
preset as a template click Tools->Apply Style
from Preset
A special version of the
Presets Manager dialog will be displayed.
First of all select the Preset from which you want to import the
styles from. Once a Preset has been selected you will be able to
select which components from the preset you want to import.
A Preset exposes several components, such as Toolbars, Groups,
Commands, etc.
Since a Preset can expose one or more component from the same class,
(for example, a Preset may contain several Groups) you have the option
to select from which of the groups you want to import the styles for
the groups on your project. The same applies to all the components
included in the select Preset.
If necessary you can also choose to not to import any styles form a
given component by selecting the "do not import" option.
After you have selected the components you want to use as a
template you have the option to choose which styles you want to import
from them. For example, you could choose to import the color of one of
the commands in the preset but not the font type. See the image on the
right
where we have selected to only import the Color, Image and Margins
from the "Shop Online" group.
This tools offers an additional component not
available anywhere else on the program: the Cascading element.
Cascading elements are commands in Preset designated to be used to
display subgroups (or submenus). Because these type of commands
usually have a slightly different style from the rest of the commands
(such as an arrow image on the right) you can use this special element to import
whatever special styles have been applied to the Preset to
differentiate the commands used to display subgroups.
When you have finished selecting the components to use
as templates and the styles that you want to import click on the
Apply button.
You can use this tool over the same project as many
times as you like allowing you to import different styles from
different Presets.
