Open button.
Displaying drawings
If you open multiple
drawings at the same time,
you can easily jump between
drawings by selecting a
drawing name from the
Window menu. Unsaved
drawings are indicated by an
asterisk; the currently active
document is shown with a
tick.
Alternatively, you can simply
click on a open drawing's tab
at the top of the workspace
to make it active (e.g., the
unsaved drawing "Peppers").
Drawings that are not active
are greyed out.
Opening other file types
Opening images as a new document
DrawPlus allows a comprehensive range of image file formats to be opened, each
as a separate DrawPlus document. From the document, you can add your own
text captions, lines, shapes, or simply make image adjustments. You can save
your design changes as a new project or just export the image (with or without
adjustment), while preserving its original properties.
