We proceed to create the four areas which enclosed the following groups of menu items: Title 1, Title 2, Set up, and Play All. As their names indicate, the appropriate menu button item is highlighted in its selection color when the up and down arrow on the remote control is pressed. When a menu item is chosen, it is momentarily displayed in its action color before starting the particular menu item (playing back a title, display another menu page). We select the icon "New Button" on the tool bar as shown in the following picture and draw the enclosed rectangles as following.

Scenarist provides some alignment tools to align the rectangular highlight areas. We can select all highlight areas by clicking the cursor icon on the tool bar, select each rectangular button (numbered from 1 through 4) while holding down the Shift key. The selected buttons are displayed in blue rectangles with the assigned button number at the top left corner of each rectangle. For this title menu, the options "Align Left", "Make Same Width", and "Make Same Height" are used which line up all menu items (buttons) very well.

For simple vertical or horizontal placement of menu buttons, the "Auto Route" function works well to link one menu button to another in a circular fashion as shown in the following picture. If you do not want to use "Auto Route" or if the linking order is not what you expect, you can use the available manual route icons on the tool bar to assign routing direction for individual button.
