The Basics: Editing Toolkit

The Basics: Editing Toolkit

The editing toolkit provides to the user a set of tools for editing, modifying and transforming the design elements.

The tools allow elements to be moved and rotated about all 3 axes.

Cut, copy paste and delete allow layouts to be reconfigured to create design options and to make decisions.

Design elements are edited with precision using the configurable layout grid, axis constraints for move and rotate, and measurement tools.

Movements and placements can be controlled with snap settings and visibility is controlled with layers.
