asking if you really want to unattach the selected library. Click Yes.

appears.
2. Enter a name for the new library. Click OK.
3. The Picture Library dialog box appears with the new library loaded. Click Close.

subdirectory of EasyBuilder until the project file has been saved.
Cre ating and ex port ing pictures
Although EasyBuilder does not provide the ability to create bitmaps, the software can import bitmaps created from
some other application program. This allows the ability to use a wide selection of pictures - including bitmaps,
JPGs, GIFS and animated GIFS that can be permanently added to your picture libraries. EasyBuilder accepts
pictures that are up to 65K color resolution.
To add a new picture to a library
1. Display the Picture Library dialog box.
2. Select one of the picture libraries from the Library: section.
3. Click on the box location where you would like to enter the new picture.
4. Click Import picture... The Import Picture dialog box displays.
5. The Picture No.: is the location of the picture in the picture file. This should reflect the box
location that you selected in step 4.
6. Enter a title for the new picture in the Picture name: box.
7. Enter the total number of states (max. 255) for the bitmap in the Total states: box.
