Quick reference

Ctrl/⌘ + K

Open the studio launcher.

Ctrl/⌘ + S

Save the current design.

Ctrl/⌘ + Z / Y

Undo / redo. The toolbar arrows do the same.

Ctrl/⌘ + C, V, D

Copy, paste and duplicate the selected object in the nameplate Design studio. Delete removes it.

Dark & light

The moon/sun button in the top bar switches theme.

Side panels

The panel buttons at either end of the top bar hide the left or right panel for more room.

Fonts

Wherever there is text you can pick from the font list or upload your own (TTF, OTF or WOFF). Choose Fit to size to scale the whole text to the artwork, or Font size for an exact size in mm.

Pictures

PNG/JPG uploads can have their background removed automatically. Choose Dark parts to use only the dark details, or Whole shape to use the picture's outline.

SVG

Simple, bold shapes work best. Very thin lines are hard to print.
