Welcome
Welcome to DrawPlus X6—the design and illustration solution from Serif,
packed with all the features expected of award-winning design software. From
decorative page elements and logos to full-page illustrations, scale drawings,
multi-page folded publications, and Stopframe or Keyframe animations—
DrawPlus X6 does it all. With the power of scalable vector graphics at your
command, you'll see the creative possibilities open up right before your eyes!
Whether you're a beginner or an expert, you'll find easy-to-use tools you can use
right away.
If you've upgraded from a previous version, this new edition of DrawPlus
includes a host of exciting new features which complement DrawPlus's existing
features. We hope you also enjoy the additional power and performance edge.
Don’t forget to register your new copy, using the Registration Wizard on the
Help menu. That way, we can keep you informed of new developments and
future upgrades!
New features
• 64-bit operation
DrawPlus is fully optimized for operation on 64-bit computers, and
will automatically install for 64-bit operation accordingly.
Creative
• Add impact with a ready-to-go stencil (see p. 159)
The Stencils tab provides a selection of ready-to-go stencil
templates—all designed with the DrawPlus user in mind. Simply drag
and drop your chosen stencil onto your page, then paint over it with
the Brush Tool, or use it to cut out a design from a picture. You can
even create your own stencils from shapes.
• Drawing arcs is easy! (see p. 39)
The Arc Tool lets you create convex and concave arcs in your drawing,
either as closed shapes or arc lines. Creating arcs using more complex
curve drawing is now avoided.
4 Welcome
• Create spirals (see p. 37)
The Spiral Tool lets you add simple spiral shapes with powerful as-
you-draw controls—flip or change spiral length/spacing with ease.
Any spiral, being line-based, can take any line/fill property or brush
stroke!
• Draw adjustable triangles simply (see p. 41)
Use the Triangle Tool for both equilateral and isosceles triangles.
Once drawn, drag corner nodes to make scalene triangles.
• Generate palettes from pictures (see p. 116)
The new Palette Creator intelligently and automatically "extracts"
colours from any picture—allowing for designs with vector artwork
and pictures using shared colours. Colours can be added to (or
replace) your current document palette.
• Automatic gradient fill swatches (see p. 116)
DrawPlus additionally offers gradient fill swatches which are not fixed
to specific colours. Instead, an object's solid fill or its current Start/End
fill path colours are used.
• Vintage "Hands On" Phenakistoscopes (see p. 36)
The Phenakistoscope QuickShape is perfect for creating the illusion
of motion—using a cut out of your designed and printed
phenakistoscope, a pencil and a mirror!
Ease of Use
• Non-printing background page colours (see p. 14)
Apply a background colour to your page(s) or spread that doesn't
show on export or print.
• Advanced photo editing with PhotoPlus (see DrawPlus Help)
Easily open any selected picture in Serif PhotoPlus or other photo-
editing program of your choice. On saving, changes to your picture
appear automatically back in DrawPlus.
Welcome 5
Professional
• Simpler PDF publishing (see p. 189)
A new and improved dialog offers only commonly used PDF settings
via selectable profiles; advanced settings are stored under a collapsed
More Options section if needed. PDF/X-3 compatibility is now
provided via profile.
• PDF Preview (see p. 185)
Interactive Print Preview now allows for PDF publishing, with all the
benefits of preview—imposition at publish time, scaling, page mark
control, view controls, and of course a screen-wide representation of
your intended PDF output.
• New PANTONE PLUS SERIES (see DrawPlus Help)
To add to DrawPlus's already extensive PANTONE libraries, the
PANTONE PLUS SERIES is now included, which is, in turn,
complemented by the PANTONE Goe™ System.
Animation
• Joints for natural movement (see p. 176)
Both Keyframe and Stopframe animation now benefit from joint-
based locking and rotating. Animated characters spring to life with
even more realistic motion—great for animating skeletons, puppets,
dolls, cranes, diggers, and more.
