VinylMaster Xpt comes packed with
an impressive suite of powerful tools that are designed to be
intuitive and therefore very easy to use.
VinylMaster's tools use
IntelrStep™ which means they are completely dynamic
(interactive) this means they appear
and remove themselves (switch on or off) depending on what you're
doing at any given
point in time
i.e. the tools are context sensitive (they automatically react
to the current context).
The Property Inspector
The Property Inspector is an ingenious and invaluable tool as it
provides you instant access
to all the settings of a selected object(s) in an expandable tree
that you can pop-in or pop-out with just 1-Click! (click on the
top-right image above, and see below for
more details). |

Smart Dockers |
|
|
 |
|
| |
|
VinylMaster's Object Manager and Property Inspector along
with the Fast Hints and Page Thumbnails are hidden in
the Dockers to save space and improve ergonomics. These
tools and commands provide invaluable assistance when using
VinylMaster and can also be controlled from the Tools menu. |
|
|
|
The Object Manager |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
VinylMaster's Object Manager is a
text-based summary of the current
document provided in a tree view that can be used to
move or copy objects between pages and groups along with
changing the Objects Z-Order (above and below) and is a
valuable tool for selecting and moving objects within a
document. |
|
|
|
The Property Inspector |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
VinylMaster's Property Inspector is an editable list of all
the relevant Properties (settings, parameters and
attributes) of the selected object(s), the current
document and the application (the program). This tool
provides you with a great deal of control over your
workflow and the document as you can access all the
major settings from a central location. The Property
Inspector is located within the right-side Docker
and can be set to work in conjunction with the Object
Manager or on its own. |

Interactive Edit Boxes |

Arithmetic
Edit Boxes - along with the Context Toolbars VinylMaster's Edit/Input Boxes
i.e. where you type values in are also dynamic and let you
type in arithmetic operators such as + (add) – (minus) *
(multiply) and / (divide) - as shown above.
So if you needed a third of some measurement such as 10 you
would simply type 10/3 and press Enter and the program will
automatically set the result to 3.333 inches and so on.
You can even combine metric with imperial together
and within the formula and use parentheses i.e.
() to do more complex calculations, as shown in the example
above. |

millimeters, inches, feet and yards for your convenience. |

Ergonomic Workspace |
|
|
|
|
| |
|

Flyouts which are designed to save space and to declutter
your workspace (as shown above). |

The VinylMaster Colorbar |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
VinylMaster's Colorbar has been designed
to provide you with a large selection of Colors-On-The-Fly
rather than having to pop-out additional palettes or modules
since selecting and changing colors is so integral to using a
graphics program.
When you click on Color Libraries and select a Named
Color Palette the Palette will appear below VinylMaster's System
Colors. You can also view the Colors-In-Use in the Document. |

as shown above. This utility also allows you to create
your own color palettes (color charts) and save these off to
be used whenever required and/or to share them with your
friends and colleagues. |
