Many do not need the power of Adobe Illustrator — yet want the ease and accuracy of vector drawing as opposed to bit-map drowing like Photoshop. Artboard can fill this void for most users! Artboard is a popular Mac OS vector drawing program that makes it easy to design logos, posters, technical drawings and more. Available as a free software update for existing owners, Artboard 1.1 includes numeric input for object geometry, Core Image Filter style components, workflow enhancements, new Layers menu, quick-edit vectors, style transformation settings and more.
