To add a new resource to the Marks list, you define a mark that is based on an existing SmartMarks (SMK) file. You can create, edit, and duplicate individual marks or groups as needed.
- On the Folders tab in the Preferences dialog box, set the default Templates, Marks, and Resources path for this installation.
- Choose a method to create or modify a mark:
- Select Resources > New SmartMark, choose a mark type, and edit its name and properties.
- In the Marks list, right-click a mark to use as the basis, select Duplicate or Edit, edit its name and properties, and save the mark or a copy of the mark with a new name.
- Save the mark to a location in the
/Marks/SmartMarks/
folder.
The mark's positioning information is stored in its <MarkName>.smk
file.
Important: Only marks that are stored in this folder appear in the Marks list. - Optional: Create a group of marks that can be added and automatically positioned simultaneously:
- Create a new subfolder within the
SmartMarks
folder, with a name to identify this mark group. - Drag or copy the SMK files for this group into the new folder.
Aninfo.smg
file stores the information about the group in the same folder as the individual SMK files.
- Create a new subfolder within the
The marks and groups that you create appear in the Marks list in the Resources pane.
