To complete the dimension line, move the mouse again to position the floating
line or arc and its label—note that they respond independently—and click when
they are where you want them. (You can always change the positions later.) The
dimension line appears.
Once you've added a dimension line, you can freely adjust node/label positions,
format the line, and format the label text via context toolbars.
Using the Gallery
The Studio's Gallery tab contains pre-built
design objects and elements you'd like to
reuse in different drawings. You can choose
designs stored under Clipart, Home, Office,
School, ShapeArt, and Web folders.
The Gallery tab has two parts: an upper
Folder/Categories drop-down menu and a
lower Designs window where you can select
and drag a copy of the design onto your
page.
The Gallery tab also lets you store your own designs in a My Designs section if
you would like to reuse them—the design is made available in any DrawPlus
document. You can add and delete your items within each category, with the
option of naming elements to facilitate rapid retrieval.
You can create your own folders and categories from the Gallery
tab's Tab Menu.
To view your Gallery:
• Click the Studio's Gallery tab.
• Select a folder or category from the drop-down menu. The items from
the folder's first listed category are displayed by default.
To use a design from the Gallery:
• Drag any preset design directly onto the page. You can modify, then
drag the design back into your own custom category.
