Creating Graphics In Orad
The first step in integrating Orad graphics within the Aurora Edit Timeline is for the
journalist to create a graphic in Orad using a standard Orad plug-in that embeds in
both iNews and ENPS.
1. From within Orad, the journalist pulls up the standard Orad plug-in where they can
navigate through the tools to create the desired graphic from a template created by
the graphics department.
