UltraSNAP PRO Changelog

What's new in UltraSNAP PRO 4.8.2

Nov 21, 2019
  • Improved color trace with more options

New in UltraSNAP PRO 4.8.1 (Oct 24, 2019)

  • Set standard locale for Illustrator and SVG export. (If your Windows locale was set with decimal separator as comma - the exported illustrator file would be unreadable)
  • Remove .rdw registry association

New in UltraSNAP PRO 4.8 (Oct 24, 2019)

  • Menu reorganization - menus were getting crowded so things (objects, Bitmaps, canvas) got logically separated
  • Simple Color Trace - Trace color images into group of vector objects
  • Separate Bitmap into color components
  • Anchor - set anchor to object, then you can move them. Using move to anchor will snap them back. Good for working on part of object separately (like objects from Color Trace), then assemble them back.
  • Smooth Curve Pencil - whatever you draw by hand will be smoothed out to nice curve

New in UltraSNAP PRO 4.7 (Sep 4, 2019)

  • Simple SVG export of vector shapes from editor view (Menu File - Export Paths to SVG)
  • Drag and Drop Tray allows dragging selected (or all) objects from the editor view directly into other applications in 32-bit PNG, SVG or Adobe Illustrator format (menu Edit - Drag & Drop Tray). This way you can avoid saving intermediate files for applications that do not support Illustrator clipboard vector format. For example you can now drag vector objects from UltraSnap directly to Xara through the D&D Tray in Either SVG or AI formats.

New in UltraSNAP PRO 4.6 (Mar 7, 2019)

  • All additions are in Editor Mode:
  • Updates to the Squeeze tool by adding a center pin to move the window around, fixed memory leak
  • Show objects during dragging
  • Ability to drag and drop images from explorer to UltraSnap
  • Added: invert colors and desaturate bitmap effects (menu Composition Editor - Bitmap - Invert Colors)
  • Make crop permanent - (for crop object tool) - Composition Editor - Bitmap - make Crop Permanent
  • Ability to lock guidelines (menu Edit - Lock guidelines) This will make them non selectable, but still snappable
  • Static Canvas Size - ability to make the canvas a certain size (normally it is dynamic: as you add objects the canvas will expand). This way you can for example set it to 800x200 to produce banners of that size and it will crop everything that is outsize the canvas. It is like a friendlier Export Crop

New in UltraSNAP PRO 4.4 (Jun 6, 2018)

  • Object Crop Tool - easy crop objects in the Editing mode.
  • Works with all objects but most useful for bitmaps
  • Package Groups - a special group that can be edited inside
  • Random Texture Generator for objects

New in UltraSNAP PRO 4.2 (Dec 12, 2017)

  • Added export paths to Adobe Illustrator

New in UltraSNAP PRO 3.3 (Nov 29, 2011)

  • PDF Help, Added very cool new "Place inside" tool: you can now place any object/bitmap or group of objects into another object. Simple example: place a rectangular screen capture into an ellipse object.
  • But that's not all, you can place multiple objects (vector or bitmap) into a text then place the text into another object etc and the result object will retain the characteristic of the underlying object - for example placing a bitmap inside a vector object will allow you to change its shape as with any other vector.

  • Added Auto-Crop to crop the image, this will remove any solid color borders from the image/edited composition
  • Added one more alternative size option so you can now switch quickly between 3 sizes
