Getting Started 21
If the design is exactly what you want then all that is left is for you to print it or
export it. If you want to personalize the design or add to it then you need to
know how to work with lines, shapes, and text.
To create a drawing from a design template:
1. Launch DrawPlus, or choose New>New from Startup Wizard... from
the File menu. You'll see the Startup Wizard.
2. Select Open>Design Template.
3. From the dialog, select a drawing category on the left, and examine the
designs on the right. Click the thumbnail that's closest to the one you
want, then click Open.
The design is loaded and forms the basis of your new unsaved drawing or
animation. When you make any changes, you'll be prompted to save the drawing
or animation to a file name.
Starting with a new drawing
The first time you launch DrawPlus, you'll see the Startup Wizard, with a menu
of choices. The Start New Drawing option offers an easy way to create your new
drawing and takes care of the initial setup for the particular type of document
you'll be producing.
Choose from a wide range of preset document types, including booklets and
folded documents. Work on pages right side up... automatic imposition assures
correct order and orientation of your output.
To start a new drawing from scratch using the Startup Wizard:
1. Start DrawPlus (or choose File>New>New from Startup Wizard... if
it’s already running).
2. Select Start New Drawing from the Startup Wizard.
