Creating Custom Billboards
Opening and Saving Custom Billboards
You can access the commands for creating, saving, exporting, and importing billboards
from the File menu in the Custom Billboard Editor. There is no New command on the File
menu because a new blank billboard screen appears when you open the Custom
Billboard Editor.
The commands on the File menu are:
z Open
Opens a billboard from a .GRF file, importing it to the current installation.
z Save As
Saves a billboard to a .GRF file so you can share the file with others, or re-use it on
future projects.
z Exit Without Saving
Returns to Script Editor without saving the changes made to the billboard.
z Save Changes and Exit
Saves the changes made to the billboard and returns to Script Editor saving the
graphic as part of the installation. It is only saved as a separate file if you use Save
As.
Adding Objects to a Billboard
The Custom Billboard Editor is object-based and lets you add different types of objects.
1. Access the Custom Billboard Editor.

2. From the Add menu, select an object.
3. Drag in the work area to create the object. (The polygon tool requires that you click

A settings dialog box appears.
