In depth
A closer look at Graphite
Formerly known as Vellum, Graphite is a powerful software application that allows users to create extremely detailed 2D and 3D designs, engineering drawings or blueprints. The software can be installed on both Windows and Mac operating systems and has an intuitive interface that lets creative people design their projects without having to worry about how to run their software. Furthermore, there are some things you can customize in the application, so that you can have all the tools you need at hand. For example, you are able to move and view (or not) the Tools, Dimensions, Pen Styles and Navigator palettes. Although the interface can be considered easy to use, people that have no prior experience in working in a similar program will not actually be able to find their way around the program without reading at least one or two tutorials. Probably the biggest advantage that this software product can offer you is the Drafting Assistant. In fact, this is a unique benefit among design and drafting programs. The Drafting Assistant knows where construction lines are normally wanted and displays them for a short while. Furthermore, this ‘assistant’ makes it easier for you to select existing points for construction by displaying information about the pointer’s location in the drawing. In order to activate this type of help, you will have to select DAssistant from Layout>Preferences.
