In the Object menu are two Align commands: Align Horizontally and Align Vertically. This function does not restrict color usage.ħ. Since most printers on the market are monochrome, this helps you to tailor your document for that environment. This also will affect any layouts loaded from the New. Turning this on will cause Instant Artist to insert all items in monochrome. At the bottom of the View menu is an undocumented command, Monochrome Defaults. This will allow you to better see exactly what printed results you will receive when assigning different colors to your objects on screen.Ħ. The palette swatch is a printout of the color list presented in the Customize Colors dialog box (see Chapter 6). An undocumented print option determines if you are going to print your document, a palette swatch, or an alignment test. This also gives you the opportunity to turn off support for PostScript Fonts by changing your setting to a neutral directory.ĥ. For Instant Artist to use your Type 1 fonts, be sure to choose the Set Directories command from the File menu and provide the correct information for "PSFonts". Instant Artist does not use Adobe Type Manager to read your PostScript fonts. To work around this, place white fills around the edges of your document to cover up any unwanted overflow.Ĥ. This means that if you have an item that is being "cropped" by the edge of the page (like the dance floor in the sign "50's Dance"), it will be exported uncropped. This includes any object partially or wholly on the desktop. Export will export the selected objects in their entirety. You can then share those graphics with any other Instant Artist User (DOS or Windows).ģ. Exit Instant Artist, rename your new USER.GFX, and name your old one back. This will create a new USER.GFX file which contains the graphics you just imported.ĭ. Import the graphic(s) that you wish to share.
This can best be done by taking the following steps:Ĭ. If you wish to share your graphics with other Instant Artist users, then you will need to give them a copy of the graphic itself. Graphics stored in this file can be deleted from the Insert Graphic dialog box. GFX format and stored in the file USER.GFX. When you import a graphic from another application, it is converted to Instant Artist's native. Some metafiles, although they can be previewed, are too complex for Instant Artist to handle.Ģ. Keep in mind that the preview you're given is that of the metafile itself, and that the results of the import may differ. You must press the Metafile Preview button in order to see the graphic itself. The Import dialog box does not automatically preview the file that you are inserting.
The following information was too late to make it into documentation.ġ.
