📄️ The Basic Tools
The building blocks of RapidPath...
📄️ Using Line and Shape Tools
The technique for drawing with these tools varies from object to object. Many of the objects such as Rectangles, Ellipses, and Rounded Rectangles are simple two-control point structures. Polylines, Polygons, Splines, Arcs, and Beziers can have as many points as you like. Irrespective, the process is simple.
📄️ The Bezier Tools
One of the trickier techniques to master in RapidPath is the drawing of a Bezier. Beziers offer a powerful way to create curves with great precision.
📄️ The Text Tools
Because they are different, the text tools behave differently to the other tools. They are however exceptionally easy tools to use. You can enter and edit text in these objects on the canvas simply by double clicking directly on the text, even on grouped objects and signs.
📄️ Changing Default Text Settings
By default RapidPath will create Arial 14pt text. This can be changed through the RapidPath Preferences screen or from within the Properties palette.
📄️ Text variables
New feature in RapidPath is Text Variables tool. The Text Variables can be used to create reusable templates and objects where text can be auto-filled based on built-in or custom variable values. Custom variables can be defined for a single plan only, or application-wide. To open the list of variables go to Tools > Text Variables.
📄️ The Image Tool
We won't get into detail with this tool since it is simply a way to import image files to your RapidPath drawing. Once you select the Image tool from the Tools Palette, you will be presented with a typical Open box where you can search your computer for image files you want to import.
