Released: Apr 2, 2024

Updates in v6.0.0

Features

• Rich Text Improvements
  • Character and Word Spacing - MyDraw now supports controllable character and word spacing which can be applied to blocks, and individual inlines. This allows you to have better control over text layout similar to the one found in professional desktop publishing systems.
  • Copy/Paste Improvements of DOCX/RTF format:
    • MyDraw now imports/exports paragraph and inline rule background and highlight fill styles.
    • Improved import of DOCX lists.
    • Other DOCX compatibility improvements and bug fixes.
• User Interface Improvements
  • New Microsoft Windows 11 Theme - A new theme that mimics the visual appearance of the Windows 11 user elements is now available.
  • Improved color picker dialog - The opacity slider has been improved to provide visual feedback for the currently selected color opacity. Additionally, the user can also specify a percentage value for the opacity.
• Improved SVG Support
  • SVG Images - Users can now insert SVG images in the diagram and shape texts. SVG images can also be applied as image filling of shapes.
  • Improved Drawing SVG Export - Improved the export of gradient fillings, as well as the export of raster images that are embedded in the SVG. The performance of the SVG export has also been optimized.
• Improved Microsoft Visio Compatibility
  • Improved Microsoft Visio Import-Export of VSDX (Drawings) and VSSX (Stencils) formats - Improved the Microsoft Visio Drawings (VSDX files) and Stencils (VSSX files) import and export with support for shape protections. Invisible Nevron shapes are also no longer exported to Visio.
  • Improved import of Microsoft Visio 2003-2010 VSD (Drawings) and VSX (Stencils) formats - The Visio 2003-2010 import has been completely rewritten, which is now faster and more accurate than the old one. MyDraw for Mac now imports Visio 2003-2010 Drawings and Stencils locally without the need to contact a remote server.
• Improved Family Tree diagrams
  • Persons are now ordered by birth date and relationships - by marriage date.
