Ordering images in MenuBuilder

MenuBuilder lets you add images, as well as other objects such as click boxes and text, to projects. 
If any images overlap other objects, or vice-versa, it is important to set the stacking order to 
control which objects appear in front of others. 

Changing stacking order consists of moving objects to the back and front of the “stage.” The key 
point to remember is that objects at the back of the stage appear behind other objects.

To order images:

1.

Open the MenuBuilder project.

2.

Right-click the image whose stacking order you want to change and select Bring to Front or 
Send to Back.

Viewing pixel location in MenuBuilder

You can view the precise location (in pixels) of click boxes, images, and text items in 
MenuBuilder.

To view location in pixels:

1.

Open the MenuBuilder project. 

2.

Select an item.

3.

In the Details bar (left side), the item’s coordinates are shown. The coordinates are pixel values 
for the upper left point of the item. The upper-left corner of the window measures 0,0. Moving 
an item to the right increases the first value, and moving an item down increases the second 
value. 

Sizing images in MenuBuilder

You can size images in MenuBuilder by height, by width, and in relation to other images. You can 
also reset an image size to its original size. 

Tip: You can size multiple images at the same time by pressing Shift while clicking the images.
