Design Tools
Anchor Points This is very handy for making precise numeric placements of graphics. You can now specify which of the 9 handles should be used as the reference point for the X and Y position values.	SL	SS	SA	SG	SP
Color Palette Navigator This feature of the Color Tab lists a color palette in a tall list, with a global navigation strip to its right, making finding the right color within the larger palette a snap - just click on the hue you want and the main list scrolls to that part of the palette.	SL	SS	SA	SG	SP
Adobe Type1 and OpenType font support You can import and use any Adobe Type1 and OpenType font you have access to. It is converted to our native format for quicker access.			SA	SG	SP
High Quality Anti Aliased Drawing Mode This great new feature gives you vastly improved screen rendering quality, enhancing your design process and effectively increasing your screen resolution by at least 50%, because you don't have to zoom in to details nearly as often.			SA	SG	SP
Move to Layer This command makes it easy to move a graphic between layers in a very complex job, in which drag and drop is not possible.			SA	SG	SP
Text Notes enhanced with Title and Fields The Text Notes feature now supports optional titles and fields on the left side, for creating organized table-like notes. You can easily reuse previously defined fields by simply selecting from a dropdown list.			SA	SG	SP
Hot Keys can be used without Control, Shift or Alt This lets you assign a shortcut key that's simply A for example, instead of having to add Ctrl, Shift or Alt as used to be.				SG	SP
Height and Slant Options in Soft Shadow You can now change the height and slant of soft shadows.					SP

ICC Profile Support We now support ICC profiles in importing, exporting, printing and sending files to a RIP. This includes both vector and raster data.			SA	SG	SP
Send to RIP enhanced with Preview, Scaling and Rotation When outputting to an Onyx RIP, we now offer a preview, rotation and cropping options. There is a PDF format option and the option to specify the number of copies.			SA	SG	SP
Print/Cut Registration Mark Support We now have comprehensive support for the registration mark system in the latest Graphtec vinyl cutters, including the FC7000 series, and other models are coming.					SP
Rasterize w/Transparency This is a great tool for compositing complex designs, when you don't want to use the memory and time required for complex elements to redraw as you zoom in and out or output to printers. It converts all vector graphics into a single bitmap. It can also be used to create graphics in Sign Wizard and go easily back and forth to Photoshop or other image editors in order to use specialized filters, all the while preserving transparency. This example is intentionally low resolution to show the bitmap that is created.					SP
