Adding a new resource to the Marks list

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.

1. On the Folders tab in the Preferences dialog box, set the default Templates, Marks, and Resources path for this installation.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Optional: Create a group of marks that can be added and automatically positioned simultaneously:
   1. Create a new subfolder within the SmartMarks folder, with a name to identify this mark group.
   2. Drag or copy the SMK files for this group into the new folder.

An info.smg file stores the information about the group in the same folder as the individual SMK files.
The marks and groups that you create appear in the Marks list in the Resources pane.
