10: New Options for editing paths (10.0)

The editing of paths has been completely redeveloped and greatly expanded. For this purpose a new tool and a new palette have been created with which you can convert, delete or add new sizing and control points. Multiple sizing points can be simultaneously selected, aligned, distributed, moved interactively or positioned precisely using dimension specifications.

10: Interactive scaling

Up to now, groups could be scaled using the dialog. With Version 9, not only groups but also all selected objects without any grouping can be scaled interactively, both freely and proportionally (A). A new sizing handle (B) helps you with interactive proportional scaling. Use an additional key or this new sizing handle to scale not only the object shape but also content such as images or text.

Color Management (9.5)

The color management function has been extended considerably. With the new rendering methods you can define how colors are interpreted on your screen. With the new option “Color Proof” you can define a color profile for your screen.

11: New Line Options (10.0)

The options for lines have been completely redesigned. Improved line patterns and endings, as well as options for line ends, line corners and line alignments leave nothing to be desired. The new options have perfected the import of Adobe InDesign documents and the native import of PDF, Adobe Illustrator and SVG files.

11: New layout aids

VivaDesigner provides a large number of layout aids such as Guide Lines, Grid, Baseline Grid, Smart Guides and Guide Objects. As from Version 9 you will also have a Document Grid as well as a customizable bleed area.

12: Visualizing Locked Objects/Layers (10.0)

Use locked objects/layers and individual access rights to ensure that other users only edit the objects you have shared. However, the user must first recognize which objects are editable. The new option for visualizing locked objects/layers that can be displayed transparently is a great help. This display has no effect on printing and is only shown on the screen.

New and improved guides

Working with Smart Guides has been drastically improved. The option now also addresses normal guides/guide objects as well as the new bleed option that can be defined in the document settings.
