Ribbon Style has many advantages such as beautiful, simple, intuitive, WYSIWYG. Since MS added the ribbon style to its Office software, it has quickly attracted widespread user recognition and support, and has quickly become a popular desktop program display feature in the industry today. The ribbon bar of Business Card Designer Pro contains Edit, Object, Layout, Text, Path, Layer, View and other 7 tab categories. Each category is briefly described below.
Click the "Edit" tabbed category button on the ribbon bar, all function buttons are shown as the below screenshot.
Cut Selection: Copy all selected graphics, images, and texts on the canvas to the system clipboard. After the copy is successful, the selection is deleted from the canvas.
Copy Selection:Copy all selected graphics, images, text, etc. on the canvas to the system clipboard. Unlike the Cut command, the selection is not deleted after copying.
Delete Selection: Delete all selected graphics, images, text and other objects on the canvas.
Paste from Clipboard: Copy graphics, images, text, and other objects from the system clipboard to the canvas and place them where the mouse is.
Paste in Place: The basic function is the same as the "Paste" command. The only difference is that after copying, all objects retain their original position when copied to the clipboard, regardless of the current mouse position.
Paste Style: Applies the fill and stroke styles of vector objects in the current clipboard to all selected objects on the canvas.
Paste Size: Adjust the size (width / height) of all selected objects to match the size of the objects in the clipboard.
Selection Tool: Select or deselect one or more objects. For the selected one or more objects, you can translate, scale, rotate, and skew.
Flood Tool: Fill the enclosed area where the mouse click is with the current fill style.
Rectangle Tool: Draw a rectangle with rounded corners on the canvas, where the size of the rounded corners can be adjusted.
Spray Tool: The tool copy all the currently selected objects to each position dragged by the mouse.
Arc Tool: Draw ovals, circles, arcs etc. shapes on the canvas.
Erase Tool: Delete the drawing object in contact with the mouse on the canvas, or split the object along the position and direction of the mouse movement.
Star Tool: There are multiple options for drawing graphics such as stars and positive polymorphs on the canvas.
Pick Color Tool: Pick the color from the canvas as the current fill style.
Spiral Tool: Draw a spiral on the canvas. The number of revolutions, the degree of divergence, and the radius are all adjustable.
Gradient Tool: Tool for making gradient color rendering, including linear gradients and radial gradients.
