Click on the following tips and tricks to find out how to make working with Powerdraw easier.
Find out how to use a dialog
To access context-sensitive Help that relates to the Powerdraw dialog you are currently looking at, press F1 within the dialog.
Set margins that automatically match your printers
You can set the margins of a border to match your default printer, or all your installed printers.
Make items line up with each other automatically
You can define gridlines that help you to size and position items within your borders and make items snap to the gridlines as you add them to a border.
Display project-specific information in a border
You can display project information in your borders by inserting fields, which represent a piece of information in a project, chart or view, such as the project start date. When you load a border containing fields into Asta Powerproject or Asta Easyplan, the fields are replaced by the information they represent, taken from the project.
Choose which items are displayed as you work on a border
You can categorise the items within your borders so that you can choose which items are displayed as you work on the border.
Insert items that only print on certain pages of a border
You can specify that items within a border only print on certain pages of a printout, for example the first page, the last page, or all odd or even pages.
Display borders in a different language
You can provide translations for the text within a border, then display the border in different languages.
