ArtWorks 2.10 features
- 32-bit compatible to run on Castle's XScale-powered Iyonix computer.
- Page rulers with origin control.
- A Skew tool to accompany the Rotate and Scale tools.
- Document stationery: create a new document by choosing from a menu of user-defined standard documents.
- Control over the distance of text fitted to a curve from the curve.
- Control over the starting offset of text fitted to a curve.
- A print setup tool to select the area of the page to be printed (useful when proofing
small parts of a large size document) including the ability to set numeric printing
offsets.
- Word/Paragraph selection in text areas by double/triple clicking
- Text export from text areas.
- Saving JPEGs that are embedded in ArtWorks files.
- User-defined dash patterns.
- Control of both width and height of arrowheads.
- Computation of the area of shapes
- New unit pix representing the size of a screen pixel.
- Optional warning about unused sprites in the sprite pool when saving a document.
- Configurable default font, font size, join style.
- Uses the RISC OS Choices: system thus allowing each of multiple users to have
individual choices settings (network or RISC OS Select only)
- Almost complete German and Dutch dialogues in addition to English.
- Full interactive help for all tools, dialogue boxes and menu entries (English only).
- Separate line width unit configuration (so you can have pt for line widths and
something else as page units).
- Pressing the Space bar switches to the previously used tool.
- ArtWorks document windows now obey the Wimp configuration settings about moving
windows off the screen.
- New options "Keep Info Box on screen" and "Keep Tool Box on screen". When switched
off, the Info and Tool Boxes obey the Wimp configuration settings. This allows multi-desktop
utilities, such as Larger to work correctly with ArtWorks 2.
Many additional improvements, e.g.:
- Automatic reformatting of text areas when fonts are substituted or when fonts are found
to be available that used to be substituted when the file was saved
- Holding down Ctrl when placing the caret in a text line allows you to click between
characters as well, you do not need to click on a character as before ("relaxed" caret
placement)
- Improved auto-save feature: no longer displays a save box that can swallow key presses
- New grid types (rectangular, isometric, radial) are compatible with transparency
- Holding down Ctrl makes the marquee selection box select all overlapping
objects as in Draw instead of all fully enclosed objects.
- Plain text import improved: If the "New text always black" option is set, then
the text does not inherit the current line colour and other outline attributes.
- Better ColourBar integration - it moves with the main window immediately.
- In all save boxes, dragging an icon now drags a sprite instead of a dashed box
and you can drag right to the border of the screen.
- Dozens of bug fixes, some for long-standing ArtWorks 1 bugs
- New option for Draw import - "Create as editable colours" (with the
settings "None", "All" and "Standard colours only") controls for which colours
ArtWorks creates editable colour menu entries
