Copy and Paste Functionality

Standard Copy and Paste functionality is now in Play Designer 2012.  You can copy a route and paste over an existing players routes or paste as a new player on the field/court.

Enhanced Hot Route Creation: Need a hot route drawn?  Simply right click now and add a hot route and edit the hot route properties similar to all edits made in the player properties.  You can also edit the regular and hot routes together.

Enhanced Moving Functionality: Now, you have the choice of moving your player and keeping the route fixed, or moving your player with the route.  

Entire Play Move Functionality: Using the selection tool, simply mark the play for moving and you can use your keyboard to adjust the entire play up, down, left or right.  Easy to readjust a play on the fly.

Background Override on PDF Playbook: In the past, you would have to use the background that you saved a play with - Now, you can force the entire playbook to have the same background - There is an override function on the PDF Playbook Tool.

PlayList in the PDF Playbook Add-On - PDF Save Playbook:  Ah!  Yes.  Now, once you create a playbook, you can save a reference to that playbook.  If you keep the plays in the same files, (similar to an iTunes playlist), you can bring back that playbook again and re-create it with ease.

Enhanced Menus and Speed:  We have slightly redesigned our menus to be a little more intelligent - Already drawn a route, you will see a re-draw option instead of all the options.  Also, the menus and overall speed of the system has been improved.

Creates Output that Works on Tablet Devices!: Check out our mobile play link on the left side of the page to understand better how to use the output on your tablet or mobile device.
