To apply an envelope:
1. Display the Easing tab.
2. Select an object from the Storyboard tab to which you want to apply
the envelope.
3. Select a profile from the Envelope type drop-down menu (Easing tab).
The displayed profile will be linear by default (see above), unless
you've applied the envelope previously.
4. Pick a preset profile from the drop-down menu
below the profile window.

For a custom profile, hover over the turquoise line (the cursor changes
to
) and drag in any direction to position a newly created red
node. Repeat the process for the number of nodes that you want to add
to make up the profile. You can then fine-tune the profile shape by
adjusting node positions accordingly.
Edit an existing profile from the preset drop-down menu to create
profiles quickly.
DrawPlus will keep the applied profile unless you modify it or you reset the
profile manually. If you'll be using the profile shape in the future you can save
the current settings to your own saved profile.
To reset a selected envelope:
• Click the button. The profile reverts to be linear
(default).
To save your custom profile:
1. Modify the profile shape from an existing preset (or create from
scratch).
2. Select Add Easing Profile from the Easing tab's
Tab Menu button
to save it. The new profile will appear at the bottom of the drop-down
menu below the profile window.
