It will take some time getting used to the changes.

Also for the scaling, it would be nice to be able to tell it to scale to the image’s embedded dpi (if any) or specify a dpi.

And for aligning, it would be cool to be able to specify that an image or text is to be positioned relative to another object instead of the entire print area.

Anyway, thanks for the changes so far. You’re on your way to making this very easy to work with!

The Arrange menu is missing a couple very useful options…

Specify Size (let designer enter size in inches, cm, or pixels)
Specify Location (let designer enter printable-area coordinates for selected corner or center of image)

Those would allow precisely aligning multiple images, and accurately scaling such things as simulated objects, emblems, etc.

At first it was a bit confusing, but the more I get used to these new features, the more I like them.

FYI –When I read the new Design Tools Basics (Answer ID 120), I found it has couple of incomplete directions. The hyperlink is missing for both times where it says “Drag the text module up or down by clicking and dragging on the textured grip area in the upper left corner of the text module. This is useful for changing the layer order if you have multiple objects. (See a more detailed description here)”. There is no hyperlink for the sentence in the parentheses. Just thought you might want to update it.

Well, I tried it again and it pastes, but only one object is selected after pasting, so I could see the others. I’m referring to envelopes here. Haven’t tried the other products. There seems to be a limit to pasting on evnelopes though. I am not sure what that means, because there is still lots of space left. Is this fixable?
