The goal of FitPlot is simple:
- place various PDFs (or other common graphic formats files such as JPG, TIF, GIF, EPS, PSD, image in the pasteboard) on a virtual plotter sheet;
- Arrange all objects in a WYSIWYG environment moving and rotating them;
- Print the so arranged plotter sheet and eventually save it for later printings.
I know this can be done with blazoned vectorial applications, but here we have a small program that can just do it--nothing less, nothing more.
FitPlot bundle document type:
Now there are 2 ways to store FitPlot files to suit the way you work and you can decide which will be the default. Previously, your FitPlot docs only included links to the files you inserted and this kept the FitPlot doc size as small as possible. The new variation is a FitPlot Bundle, a single files that includes full copies of each file you insert into the FitPlot doc. Sure it's a bigger file but much more portable.
Which method is better? That depends on you and either can be set as your default. Do you only work on one computer and keep all the source files in fixed locations? An ordinary FitPlot doc will work fine for you. Do you often need to move FitPlot docs from place to place or computer to computer? Do you regularly send files to colleagues or customers? Then FitPlot Bundle is for you because all the inserted files are already packed and ready to go.
Of course, you can switch between doc types, a FitPlot Bundle can be saved as a plain FitPlot doc and a plain FitPlot doc can be saved as a Bundle for the times when you do need to share or send. FitPlot doc leaves everything where you put it and FitPlot Bundle packages everything together so however you work, FitPlot has you covered.
You can set your new documents default type from the preferences panel, attributes tab.
