SignCut Draw:
• Hovering your mouse over most of the screen icons will pop up the icon’s name and available shortcut.
While the shortcuts are shown with uppercase letters, use lowercase keys on your keyboard when
executing.
On the Tools Panel, the shortcut keys (top to bottom) are in the same order as the alphanumeric keys
on your keyboard (left to right: Q, W, E, R, T, Y, U, I, O, P, A, S). When needing to switch back and forth
between any two tools, double-clicking an empty part of the Sign Area will toggle between the last two
tools used.
Note that in some cases, as with functions on the Tools Panel, a shortcut key can be followed with a
number to provide even faster access to a function plus one of its options on the Properties and
Functions Bar. These shortcuts are written in this manual as, for example, E1, where you would press
the “E” key, release, and then you would press the number “1”. With other shortcuts, such as Ctrl+S,
the “+” indicates you hold down the first key while pressing the next (i.e. hold the Ctrl key while pressing
the S key).
o Alternatively, you can repeatedly press one of the letters to cycle through the options for those
particular tools.
Any shortcut with the letter “F”, such a F1, F2, F3, etc., refers to your keyboard’s function keys along the
top.
• In order to better remember where major elements are located, note that the term “bar” is used when
components are laid out horizontally (such as the Toolbar) and the term “panel” is used when components
are laid out vertically (such as the Tools Panel).
• The Design Board refers to the entire white space available for placing shapes. The Sign Area refers to
the portion inside the blue dashed lines. The Margin area is between the green dashed lines and the blue
dashed lines.
