Due to popular demand, this release includes new tools to improve the quality of your MoDraw presentations. Here is a short demo (for more informations, continue reading) :
Here is an example of the presentations that you can now create using only MoDraw :
Colors & Custom Names for Shelves Configuration
By default, each Shelves Configuration now has a unique color associated with it (which can be customized) and a name (by default U#) which can also be customized. The name of the Shelves Configuration is also being printed with a bigger font at an angle of 90° for easier reading.
If you do not want to see or print your presentations in colors, you can unselect the option Show Colors using the following menu : View / Show Colors....
To customize a color and/or a name, select the Shelves Configuration section of your choice, right-click on the mouse button and select the menu : Section / Shelves Configuration Properties ....
From there, you can enter a new name and/or select a new color.
Adding Pictures and 3D Views in the General View
Another popular request was to be able to add pictures on the general view. To do this, go to the menu Object / Picture ....
A window will pop up where you will be able to select a picture, configure the location and the size of the picture.
To add a new picture to the list, click on the button Picture ... and, from there, you can add images files (PNG/BMP/...) to your project with a unique name.
When you go back the picture dialog, you will be able to select the picture you newly added by selecting the unique name you gave it.
As you may have guess, the Photos you take on the 3D view are also available in the picture list. This way, you can also add 3D view in you general view using the same Picture object.
Adding Elevation and Front Views in the General View
Last but not least, you can now add views of a system in the general view. For example, you can add the front view of the system just next to this same system in the general view.
To do this, click on the system you want to create a view from and select the menu Create View ....
A window will pop up where you will be able to select which kind of view you want (Front View, Elevation View, ISO View) and the location and size where to show this view.
After the view has been created, you can select it, right-click on the mouse and select the menu Properties ... to change the configuration of your view.
