description of all options in the Import Settings dialog box, see “Import Settings” in the
Help.
Creating and Using Import Settings
You can create one or more sets of import parameters and save them as an Import setting.
For example, you can create one setting for importing animations and another for importing
still graphics. This feature is especially useful when you use the drag-and-drop method to
import multiple files. See “Using the Drag-and-Drop Method to Import Files” on page 162.
The default Import setting and any additional Import settings you create appear in the
Settings list. See “Using the Settings Tab in the Project Window” on page 82. After you
select a setting in the Settings list, the parameters remain the default settings for all imported
files, unless you change them during import.
Creating a New Import Setting
To create a new Import setting:
1. Click the Settings tab in the Project window.
The Settings list appears.
2. Click Import.
3. Select Edit > Duplicate.
4. Name the setting by clicking the Custom setting name column, typing a name, and
pressing Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh).
