It allows drawings or parts of a drawing to be pulled and stretched as if they were printed on a rubber sheet. A perspective tool which allows objects to be rotated in three dimensions to provide an accurate and realistic perspective look. A text tool which provides the ability to enter lines of text, in any font, directly on screen. It even allows text to be rotated, filled with a graduated colour and still be edited directly on screen. And this works on both RISC OS 2 and 3.
Text round a curve allows lines of text to be accurately fitted to follow any desired curve or line.
A freehand drawing tool which provides the easiest possible line drawing. Although ArtWorks does provide very powerful bezier curve creation and editing facilities, the freehand tool allows you to draw with the mouse exactly as you would with a pen or pencil. All operations in ArtWorks are interactive, so that you can see the effect of a particular tool as you use it. For example, using the rotate tool means that the object rotates as you drag with the mouse, rather than just when you let go. The difference is enormous since operations that used to require many trial and error attempts can now be performed completely accurately first time.
