Tip of the month! December: Using “Save +1” feature

There is a very useful but a little known feature in Palette CAD that allows you to save a design over and over again by adding numbers to the end of the file name. This little gem is “Save +1” and it is a fantastic way to save time if you want to present a potential customer with the same design but with a number of small variations, such as different paint options or tile designs.

For the first time just save your work as normal and give your plan an appropriate name. In my example I used “Winter Bathroom”.

Underneath you can see the finished design.

Now I exchanged the dark and light tiles for one another and chose darker wood in order to present both options to my potential customer. I still want the opportunity to keep both plans so now I save this my plan with “Save +1”.

 

This now creates another file “Winter Bathroom_1” and gives me the below look. I can now keep and edit both plans further.

There it is, easy peasy. Try it out for yourselves and have fun with it!!

Tip of the month! November: Pick your “Favorites”

For many users that use Palette CAD day in day out it is often a little time consuming to constantly look through catalogues in order to find the same items over and over again. Luckily a solution already exists and all that needs to be done is to save your frequently used objects and materials under favorites.

As seen in the image below, simply find the desired object/material in your catalogues and right click on them. A context menu will pop up and here you can select “Add to favorites”.

Now the next time you wish to use these items again you can quickly and easily find them under “Favorites” found at top of the menu bar on the left hand side.

We hope this tip will free up some of your time and don’t forget you can always find more at our other Palette CAD information platforms listed below.
