- Find available languages ; English, German, Portuguese, Spanish, Polazo, Turkish, Italian, Dutch, and some others more.
- It also has support for layers, pages and objects .
- Pages will be able to inherit characteristics from a master page . This can be useful if you are working on a project with many pages that requires a consistent formatting.
- You can select objects by clicking anywhere in the drawing area . When selecting a text box, a circle or any element, the program enables you to use transformation tools to adjust the position, change the size or group it with other elements.
- In the interface of the program you will find a toolbar, which will change depending on the selected tool . This contextual approach seeks to reduce clutter and hide unnecessary options from the screen, since you cannot work with more than one tool at a time.
