Displayr has a suite of functions that align with other document design apps like PowerPoint/CAD software. This article contains a short summary of each function.
Requirements
A Displayr document with objects
Method
Here is a summary of the different functions:
Selection
-
When selecting from the right-hand side of objects, you only need to touch them to select (rather than surrounding the whole object) – right-hand selection is shown as a green selection box, rather than blue
-
For both left-hand and right-hand selection, a highlight is shown on items to preview what will be selected
-
Right-click over a group of items to select them by name
Moving items
-
Hold Alt key down to disable snapping
-
Hold Ctrl key down to duplicate instead of move
-
Hold Shift key down to constrain movement to horizontal, vertical, and 45 degree diagonals
Resizing items
-
Hold Alt key down to disable snapping
-
Hold Ctrl key down to resize around the centre
-
Hold Shift key down to maintain the same aspect ratio as the original item
