  • Adds ability to directly collapse and expand handles on a path.
  • Better precision in the mouse coordinates toolbar widget.
  • Polar Duplicate calculates the angle needed for a circle for you.
  • Tool keyboard shortcuts made case insensitive.
  • Warning when using transparent colours in a gradient.
  • Copy of objects made greatly more efficient, especially for large objects, or when the selection covers a large area of a drawing - no spinning pizza!
  • Some unnecessary preferences were removed.
  • Some defaults were changed. In particular, Lion features Autosave and Versions (which were present in 1.3, but OFF by default) are now ON by default. They may still be disabled if you dislike Lion's document management.

  • Added path commands to the contextual menu that appears when right-clicking on a path.
  • Fixed bug with allowing locked objects to be moved to another layer.
  • Fixed bug with display of radius and diameter dimension lines.
  • Fixed bug with display of 0-width orthogonal lines.
  • Fixed bug with dash patterns having all-zero values.
  • Fixed bug with display of layers sidebar when resuming after quit.

This is a really good graphics application but the inability to open or import any files that are not in its own file format is extremely limiting. I would love to use Artboard more often but constantly find myself reverting to my old version of Illustrator because I can't open files in Artboard, not even .eps. At the moment I see this as a web graphics or dtp only app albeit a good one.

Seems a bit odd for vector drawing software not to be able to open any other vector file format other than it's own.

I purchased this app at the app store a couple of months ago, but just tonight started to play with it. The controls seem pretty tricky to me, but the help menu looks very promising. There are not a huge amount of templates, but (I'm not yet certain about this) it looks like you might be able to import some of your own. The app store has been glitchy since I installed Lion, and Artboard is one of several apps that continually show up as needing updating (though I've "installed the updates" several times over) The app starts fine, but did crash on me after a while. I'm hoping once Lion's patches get put in, the apps will run a little more smoothly. I rated this in the "medium"" range, but it's possible I would rate it more highly if I knew more about how to navigate this app better.

I think this new trend of selling shareware on the Mac App Store without a trial is not conducive to sales..

Oops sorry there is a trial version on their site.. App looks good but the save/export seem very limited.. Actually the trial version has export grayed out (.. and the app cannot open svg (which is what I'm searching apps for now..). But the interface looks quite good.. One to look for in the future if it becomes more pro..
