Concepts 2021.7 for Android - Custom Grids, Snap & Align

August 2021 Update

Concepts' Precision Tools are coming to Android. Use Snap + Align to draw with your grid, and give your grid a new look with the Custom Grid Editor in Concepts 2021.7.


Custom Grids, Snap & Align to Grid

The Precision Tools are coming to Android.

In Concepts 2021.7, you can use new Snap and Align drawing guides to interact with your grids. Snap directly to the grid, or use Align to draw in reference to the grid with a directionally secure yet looser form. Toggle options to draw straight lines only or allow turns while drawing.

We've also added a Grid Editor to let you customize your grid to your project. In the Settings menu, select a Grid, then tap it again to find the menu and adjust your line weight, density, opacity, color and orientation.

Learn how to edit your grid with our tutorial here.

If you're in a mood for note taking, try setting up a personalized sheet of Lined Paper for note taking or even your child's handwriting practice with this tutorial.
