The nine element tools

Each adds an element to the top-left of the label, already selected so you can start typing or drag it into place. Single-letter shortcuts work whenever the canvas has focus.

Tool	What it makes
Text `T`	A plain text box. The workhorse — product names, prices, SKUs, anything written.
Rectangle `R`	A filled or outlined box. Used for coloured banners, price panels and dividing blocks. It can hold text as well, which is how banner elements work.
Ellipse `O`	A circle or oval. Drag a corner with `Shift` held to keep it perfectly round. Also holds text.
Line `L`	A horizontal rule. Its thickness is its height — set that in the properties panel rather than looking for a stroke width.
Triangle	A three-sided shape, point upward. Flip it vertically for a downward point. Used for hazard and warning marks.
Star	A star or starburst, with adjustable points and depth. The shape behind every "SAVE 20%" flash.
Arrow	A right-pointing arrow. Flip horizontally to point it left. Holds text along its shaft.
Barcode `B`	A barcode or QR code. Set the symbology in the properties panel. See barcodes.
Image `I`	A placeholder for a logo or product photo.

Rectangle, ellipse, triangle, star and arrow all accept text. That is how a coloured banner with white lettering is a single element rather than two stacked ones — which matters, because one element cannot drift out of alignment with itself.

Undo and Redo

Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Shift+Z. The history holds the last 80 changes.

A drag counts as one step, not one per pixel — so undoing after moving something puts it back where it started rather than creeping back a fraction at a time.

Theme

A dropdown of nine coordinated colour schemes. Choosing one recolours every element that has been given a theme role, leaving everything else untouched.

Theme	Suits
Classic black	Black on white. Reads at any size and costs the least to print.
Sale red	High-contrast red banner. The conventional discount look.
Clearance yellow	Yellow and black. Impossible to miss on a shelf.
Fresh green	Produce, organic and health lines.
Ocean blue	Aquarium, seafood and cool-toned ranges.
Premium navy	Understated. Suits higher price points.
Warm bakery	Bakery, deli and hand-made goods.
Clinical	Clean and legible. Pharmacy, medical and compliance labels.
Thermal mono	Pure black only — the safe choice for thermal printers.

Elements you create yourself have no role until you give them one, in Properties → Behaviour → Theme role. Templates come with roles already assigned, which is why switching theme on a template restyles the whole thing coherently.

Front and Back

Moves the selection to the very top or very bottom of the stacking order. Use these when a coloured panel has landed on top of the text it was meant to sit behind.

For single-step moves, use the arrow buttons in the layers panel, or Ctrl+] and Ctrl+[.

Alignment

Needs at least two elements selected. Everything aligns to the outer bounds of the selection — so aligning left moves everything to the leftmost edge among them.

Button	What it does
Left, Centre, Right	Horizontal alignment.
Top, Middle, Bottom	Vertical alignment.
Space	Spreads three or more elements evenly between the outermost two. The end elements do not move.
Centre on label	Centres the selection on the label itself, not within its own bounds. This is the one you want for a heading.
Fit width	Stretches the selection to the full label width, starting at the left edge. Useful for banners and rules.

Group, Ungroup, Copy style, Paste style

Button	What it does
Group	Ties two or more elements together. Selecting any one of them selects the whole group, and they move and resize as a unit. `Ctrl`+`G`.
Ungroup	Releases them. `Ctrl`+`Shift`+`G`.
Copy style	Picks up the appearance of one selected element — font, size, colours, borders, shadow, opacity, theme role.
Paste style	Applies that appearance to everything currently selected. Position and size are never copied, only styling.

Copy style is the fastest way to make a label look deliberate. Style one price the way you want it, then paste that style onto the other three. It beats setting six properties four times over, and there is no chance of one being slightly off.

Snap, Grid and Preview data

Toggle	What it does
Snap	Elements pull into alignment with the label edges, its centre lines, and the edges and centres of other elements as you drag. Pink guide lines show what it has latched onto. Hold `Alt` while dragging to suspend it temporarily.
Grid	Shows a background grid on the canvas — 10 mm on larger labels, 5 mm on small ones. Visual only; it never prints. `G` toggles it.
Preview data	Switches between showing `[Product Name]` and the actual value from the first product you have queued. Turn it on to see how a real name fits; turn it off to see which field an element is bound to.

Zoom

The − and + buttons step through 50%, 75%, 100%, 150%, 200%, 300% and 400%. Ctrl+0 returns to actual size.

Zoom is display only — it changes nothing about the design or the print output. Snapping automatically becomes finer as you zoom in, so it always feels like the same few pixels of pull.

Save

Saves the design as a project, under the Projects tab. Ctrl+S.

Saving stores the design, not the products. Open a saved project next week, tick a different set of products, and print — the layout work is done once.
