This chapter is the best way to get acquainted with SnipSVG, because learning by doing is more effective than any description. If you follow the instructions for the exercises here first, the static documentation of the tools will make a lot more sense.

Check the Preferences and Settings

Before you start, please check your Preferences and Settings to get SnipSVG set up for your working style. It is particularly important to set the standard image size for the Picture Frame, as this will determine how your images are created and managed by the program.

Using SnipSVG with Help+Manual®

SnipSVG is fully integrated with our Help+Manual® documentation editing suite. You can transfer images to it directly in a number of ways. This even works from the macOS version if you are running Windows in a virtual machine on your Mac.
