New in GRAFIS 26
Product info
It’s what many of you have been asking for, and it’s finally here! With GRAFIS product information, all details relating to a style can be managed centrally in one place. Enter data into predefined fields, add images such as sketches, fabric samples or logos, and include your own notes. The forms can be customised, printed out and reused, for example in tech packs.
Info Centre Window
In the Info Centre dialogue box, you will find details of the GRAFIS version, the licence number and other relevant information. You can also initiate updates and manage licences here. The dialogue box can be opened via the Help menu item in the menu bar.
New colour options
The programme interface now offers three additional colour shades. Together with the existing light and dark versions, this gives you a choice of five shades – from white to black, including various shades of grey. This allows the surface to be adapted even more precisely to your specific working conditions.
Improved list of forms
The list of forms is now cached, so that the list loads much faster after the first time it is called up.
There is a refresh button in the top right-hand corner.
To delete shapes from the list, you can use the delete key
When copying (to the clipboard), the file extension is checked. In addition, a more detailed check is carried out to ensure that the form matches its version number.
You can now also drag and drop shapes from File Explorer into the shapes list.
Additional feature in the Visibility Dock
The Visibility Dock is being enhanced with a feature that allows you to lock the selection of the displayed sizes. For example, after grading, the visible sizes are displayed again in the same selection.
New and updated tools
Tool Coordinated Velcro strips
