The workspace, explained

Four regions. Once you know what each one owns, nothing in the app is hidden.

Guided walkthrough

See this in the real app, not a recording

The guided tour opens a real architect’s sheet in the actual workspace and walks you through it — the same buttons you will be pressing, highlighted one at a time. Nothing to install, and you can stop it at any point and keep the drawing.

Start the guided tour
The imPrintX workspace: a view rail down the left, a project header across the top, the drawing in the middle, the tool pill floating at the bottom, and the properties panel docked on the right.VIEWSPROJECT · COVERAGE · SAVEPropertiesof what youselectedToolslive hereThe drawing — everything else is derived from it
The four regions of the workspace. Nothing else is hidden anywhere else.
This is the real view rail. The strip down the left of the workspace, mounted here from the same component. Top to bottom: Floorplan, Rack View, Topology, Solar, Report, Pictorial, Item Directory, Design Auditor — then Settings and Help at the foot. Floorplan is highlighted, the way the app opens. Hover any of them in the app and its name appears beside it.

  1. Left rail — the views

    Every drawing this project can produce, stacked as icons. Switching a view never changes the design; it changes which drawing of it you are looking at. Hover any icon for its name.

  2. Top header — the project

    On the left, the project name (double-click to rename) and the button that opens the projects drawer. Multi-page plans get page arrows here. In the middle, the assistant and the coverage pill. On the right, Save and the ⋯ menu.

  3. Bottom pill — the tools

    The drawing tools, in one floating pill: navigate, draw, edit, annotate, measure, and the Add Devices button. Slots with a small arrow are families — hold or click the arrow to open the flyout and pick a sibling.

  4. Bottom left — the canvas controls

    Grid and snap, architectural walls on or off, 3D, Fit to screen, and Set Scale. These affect how the plan is drawn on screen, not what the design contains.

  5. Right side — selection

    Select something and the properties panel docks on the right: what it is, where it is, its specification, and the controls that apply to that kind of object. Select several and the bulk panel replaces it.
