Tips & Tricks

Keyboard Shortcuts

• Commands to select tools (if implemented)
• Explain how using modifiers (shift) can affect how a tool works:
  • shift dragging lets you scale without equal proportion
  • shift on the side handles lets you skew the object
  • alt/option when dragging the corner of an option makes it scale from the center of the object instead of from that corner
  • alt/option dragging an object duplicates it
  • alt/option dragging the object handles will scale from the center of the object instead of from the opposite side/corner of the object.
• Arrow keys can move objects, shift+arrow keys moves them more precisely
• Normal Commands:
  • Copy/Paste/Cut/Delete/Undo
  • Arrow Keys, Shift + Arrow Keys
• Insert Objects:
  • t - text object
  • i - image
  • c - circle
  • s - square
  • l - line
• Escape - Deselects all selected objects
• Alignment - These work all the time - so they work when a single/multiple objects are selected with and without a "key" object.
  • ac - Align Center (horizontal)
  • am - Align Middle (vertical)
  • aa - Align Both Center and Middle
  • at - Align top
  • ab - Align bottom
  • al - Align left
  • ar - Alright right
• n or p - Next page
• Shift+L - Lock current objects

Drag & Drop

Anything that you can upload into the app, you can also drag & drop it into that same page.

You can upload, and also drag & drop, various files at the Start, Design, and My Cards steps.

Here is a complete list of what you can do:

• You can drag & drop a .bid template from your computer instead of clicking Upload template.
• You can drag & drop images on top of either of the template's sides instead of clicking Add image.
• You can drag & drop .csv and .xls files instead of clicking Import CSV.
• You can drag & drop an image, more images, or a ZIP with images instead of clicking Upload images in the My Cards step.
