Tooltips & Pop-Up Menus

We are releasing a few really cool things this week. It's almost hard to pick which one to start with, but I think I know which one is going to make a lot of people really happy. And that is importing PDFs. Now, when you go to import an image, you can just pick a PDF from your file picker. You can also pick from your files on iOS or Android. Um, and you just add it like you would an image. It works the same way. You can scale it. The only constraint is uh it's only going to pick the first page of a multi-page PDF, but usually that's what you have anyway. So that's PDFs. And something that you probably noticed while I was doing that is this little hover state. Now it tells you what these buttons are going to do. So as you're learning and as you're looking for what keystrokes to use, you see that little C there, there's the A for an actor. It's going to tell you the keystrokes to help you do the various things um that you need to do. Um, and that is true for a number of things, uh, including in details. If you have something picked here, it's going to show you locking, hiding, change the opacity, and even if you have something chosen here, it's going to tell you what these do. So, it's no longer going to be a big mystery, uh, you know, what different things do. Um, it's it's going to help you out along the way. The other thing that's really going to help you out, and we've had several requests for this, is these right-click menus. So now when I right click on the background here, it's going to give me some options. Uh I can zoom to fit. These options have always been here, but now they're even easier to remember and even easier to access. So if I'm zoomed in and I just want to zoom to fit, it does that. I can already do that like it says by double clicking an empty space. But this just helps keep it top of mind. You see that undo is available. And one thing that we have added is this notion of paste here. So if I copy, I'm just going to command C that. But I want to put it here right now. If I do a commandV, it's just going to put it in the middle of the screen. And that's fine. But if I want to go a little quicker, I can rightclick and go paste here. And it's actually going to put it where I clicked. So that's really helpful. Um, and these menus are different depending on what you click on. So if I click on something like a fixture, I'm going to have a bunch more options. Um, I'm going to be able to edit the DMX properties, edit the name easily. And again, it's showing you what the keystrokes are to do these. I have access to hide lock and opacity here. Um, which means I don't have to open details. But if I do want to open details, I can see it's right there. I can show this in layers. That's going to help me out. Um, and I can do this cool thing, move to and move from. Now, you can already do this if you use arrows and connect them, but this is just a much quicker way to do it. So, instead of uh instead of adding duplicating this, moving it, adding an arrow, connecting it to both, I'm just going to click move to, and that creates a duplicate. And then I can just it's already connected with the arrow, and I can just drag it wherever I want to. It's that simple. So, please explore these, check out all the different options that we've built in here, and let us know if you want any more. Can't wait.
