By treating object files as assets, NetObjects Fusion provides you with a convenient way to replace or update multiple instances of an object. Reusing assets can also reduce the number of files stored on the server. Instead of adding multiple copies of a file in several locations, you add the asset once and then select from the list of existing assets when you want to place another instance of the asset.
To place an asset:
In Page view, choose the appropriate tool and draw a box to specify where you want to place the asset.
The File Open dialog appears.
Click the Assets tab to see a list of current assets.
Select the asset you want to place and click Open.
NetObjects Fusion places the asset on the page and opens the appropriate properties panel. In Assets view, you can replace all instances of this asset in your site using a single command, or add file assets. See Managing Assets.
