4 Welcome
• Layers
Each page can have multiple layers so you can assign elements to
different layers for modular design. Each layer entry hosts a
hierarchical tree view of associated thumbnailed objects.
• Pseudo 3D Projections
Project objects isometrically onto Top, Front, or Right planes via a
Standard toolbar. For more advanced projections, take advantage of
editable Dimetric, Trimetric, Oblique projections, or even create your
own Custom projection.
• View Quality
Draw in different drawing modes to view objects at optimum quality
(Normal mode) or unsmoothed (Draft).
• Professional-Standard Drawing Features
Features like converting text to curves, defining custom envelopes,
fully customizable drop shadows, layers, and scalable vector graphics
give complete creative power. Combine two shapes into one... Subtract
for cropping and masking... Intersect to carve out unique shapes and
regions.
Illustration essentials
• Rotate Canvas
Let your canvas rotate through any angle, just like an artist would do
in real-life. Great for artists with tablets, for drawing freeform curves
at any orientation, and for getting a different perspective of your
drawing!
• Pressure Studio for pen tablets
Calibrate and test your tablet's input devices, even setup function
keys, rings, wheels, and sliders from within DrawPlus—all in one
easy-to-use studio! For Wacom Intuos4 users, take advantage of
OLED touch-sensitive shortcuts, where illuminated DrawPlus tool
icons show in your tablet's Functions area.
• Design aids
Use Overlays such as Rule of Thirds grid (for improved page
composition) and Divine Proportions (for aesthetic proportioning).
