📄️ The New Plan Wizard
The first step in RapidPlan is choosing a canvas to work on. The New Plan Wizard allows you to select a type of plan and specify details of your plan (such as scale, print region, etc.) before you begin (which a New Default Plan does not).
📄️ Auto Template
The purpose of the Auto template tool is to semi-automate the process of creating a traffic plan.
📄️ Canvas Navigation
There are essentially four ways that you will need to master when it comes to navigating around the canvas: the origin icon, scrolling, zooming and shifting between layers
📄️ Managing the Order of Your Canvas
An important function of the RapidPlan canvas is the ability to order objects. The following diagram demonstrates the concept of ordering.
📄️ Flip, Alignment and Spacing Toolbars
Flip Toolbar
📄️ Print Regions
The key to the Unrestricted Canvas is the blue Print Region guide. This box allows you to build plans that "fit" the shape of a piece of paper without constraining you to a fixed page size.
📄️ Measurement Tools
The measurement tools will enable you to quickly measure distances, angles and areas on your plan. Measurements are precise, zoom-independent and can be saved as marker objects.
📄️ Print Frames
Typical usage scenarios
📄️ In-Place Print Preview
File > Print > Print Preview is one way of checking how your frame fits together with your plan content on the printout page, but RapidPlan is also able to overlay the print preview directly over the plan you're editing. To enable the in-place print preview, double click the icon located in the bottom right corner of the print region or right click on the print region icon and select In-place print preview.
📄️ Printing Plans
The importance of the page guide is at it's greatest when printing, because on unrestricted canvas plans there are different printing options available to you.
