Create a new frame
Either you use from drop down menu “Frames“ or the right mouse key at overview window. Click on “New Frame“ and confirm. A new frame is now added to the list, but is not active in the editor. Double-click now onto the new frame at the overview window and it appears in the editor.
Now you can draw a frame by means of the tools. You can add contents, change colors or adjust objects at any time at yet existent frames. This can also take place during an active laser output!
A new frame in the same frame list will be created the exact same way. You can add as many frames per frame list as you wish.
With the right mouse key pressed at the overview window you can additionally copy, insert or delete frames. Within the context menus you can see your options.
NOTE: If you want to edit a frame, first select it in the overview window by double-clicking. Now it is active in the editor window, too, and can be edited.
NOTE: If you want to see live at your laser what you have just drawn, create a scene on the time line via an active frame (Drag and Drop). Now select in output window the source “scene“, start the laser output and you can immediately adjust the frame in real time.
Click on an object (on a corner point or a line in between) to select an object. You can move or resize an object with the selections at the corner.
If you press ALT key while selecting an object, you can resize it.
To select several objects at once, press CTRL key or use the “Region button“.
Group objects with the “Group objects“ button. To check one or more objects on or off, hold CTRL key and click on the desired objects. After all objects have been selected, press the “group“ button. Now all of your selected objects are grouped. You can edit this group with other tools like i.e. „move“, “resize“ and so on. But yet within a group single objects may be selected individually. To select a grouped object press SHIFT key while selecting.
To dissolve a group select the group and click then on the “ungroup“ button.
If you select a text object, you can edit the text, font size and font family at any time. Changes will be affected immediately - never mind if the show is running or not!
You can center your selected objects by clicking on the individual object with right mouse key and selecting then the option “Center Selection“ at the menu. There you can choose between different centering types, i.e. horizontally, vertically or both.
