To apply a Divine Proportions grid:

select Show/Hide Divine Proportions from the drop-down menu.
The grid is overlaid over your page.
2. (Optional) Resize, rotate, or reposition the grid over your design (or
planned design area) by dragging corner or edge handles.
3. Begin drawing, using the guide lines to draw objects proportionately.
To select the grid (once deselected):
• From the Standard toolbar, click Overlays and choose Select
Divine Proportions.
Isolating an object
For focused editing, DrawPlus X5 provides the Solo mode. This allows you to
temporarily isolate selected object(s) on the page that you are currently
designing (all unselected objects disappear!). In doing so, you avoid having to
move objects to other layers or lock object unnecessarily.
DrawPlus supports multi-level solo mode, where you can further isolate sub-
areas of your design within solo mode, allowing you to work in increasing levels
of detail. This is carried out using a pop-up window, which hosts a Solo button
which acts on currently selected page objects. The original drawing and each
isolated level are shown as consecutive thumbnails.
