- This past Tuesday, Todd presented a webcast on creating custom styles with the Style Editor. (A recording of the webcast was posted if you want to watch it.) When Todd showed the “dice” feature in one of the style editor dialogs one of the attendees was so excited that he actually typed in “cool!” via chat. (Usually people just type in technical questions…)
Indeed, the dice (aka Variance Percentage) setting in many of the style edit dialogs is very cool. One of the reasons why Impression compelling is the ability to create strokes and fills that have a hand drawn look. The randomness that the dice offer makes this possible.
Since I hadn’t given this nifty feature much thought, I decided to read up on it in the Help system. I typed “variance percentage” into the Help system and six very comprehensive pages of content came up. Now, that was pretty cool. So if you want to learn a bit more about styles, try typing “variance percentage” into the Help system and check out the pages that come up.0 comments In Inside Hues >
