V9 Introduction

Introduction

All commands in ES Designer can be accessed via the various menus, bo

dropdown and popup, toolbar icons, menu chart (for use with digitizin

tablets), as well as access and shortcut keys. Many commands can be

accessed by more than one method. The Command Reference lets you s

at a glance which method best suits you. It will also help DG/ML and

Punchant Designer users who have converted to ES Designer to identifywhere equivalent commands are located.

Note While the Graphical User Interface (GUI) elements in ES Designer a

organized somewhat differently to DG/ML and Punchant, they provide

exactly the same functionality, and more.
