      Getting Started with Play Editor (Drawings)

      The play Editor Tool will assist you in building drawings from pre-made layouts and field backgrounds. Using your current folder structure, create new files then add the drawings for quick assembly.

       

      Note: The Play Editor is a feature included in all Pro Quick Draw proper packages. You must have Version 4.3.9 or higher. You can either update by clicking "New Version Available" in your toolbar, or visit our Customer Portal and download Pro Quick Draw (will replace old version).
