Recursive Editing Technology (RET)

Stop wasting time re-doing your work when clients change their minds. When you create an effect in Version 6 (such as a shadow), it remains dynamically linked to the original object. If you edit the original text or shape, Castop Plus 6 automatically updates all linked effects in real time. Make proof revisions in seconds instead of re-creating your artwork from scratch.

🛠️ Core Features Built for Speed & Precision

📝 WYSIWYG Text Editor

Design and edit text directly on your layout with the familiarity of a word processor.

• Total Control: Easily adjust font styles, size, spacing, baseline shift, and slant angles on-screen.

• Advanced Typography: Features automatic kerning alongside the ability to create and save custom kerning pairs.

• Text Effects: Place text along an arc or wrap it around shapes (clockwise and counter-clockwise) with a single click. You can even design and edit your own custom fonts!

🎨 Drag-and-Drop Galleries

Add objects and professional effects to your canvas in seconds.

• Clipart Libraries: Drag and drop artwork directly into your layout, or build your own custom, fully editable object libraries.

• Effects Libraries: Instantly apply consistent fills, transparencies, and transitions to any object.

🔍 Vectorizing & Image Tracing

• High-Quality Tracing: Effortlessly convert bitmap images (JPEG, PNG, etc.) into clean, sharp vector outlines suitable for cutting. Supports line art, greyscale, and full-color images.

• Direct Scanning: Built-in TWAIN interface allows you to import images directly into the software from scanners and digital cameras.

📐 Precision Node & Geometry Editing

• Node Editing: Take absolute control of your outlines. Manipulate individual lines, curves, and nodes, or use the Interactive Mode to apply changes to multiple identical components simultaneously.

• Advanced Welding: Merge, subtract, and intersect multiple objects flawlessly with comprehensive layout tools.

💎 Advanced Visual Effects & Fills

• Cuttable Shadows: Access every conceivable shadow effect via a simple "Rollup" menu. Automatic welding ensures clean, cuttable outlines every time with zero overlapping lines. Choose between butt-joining or overlaying.

• Complex Distortions: Apply perspective, envelope, and sphere distortions to both vector shapes and bitmap images.

• Gradient & Texture Fills: Create vibrant graduated fills with multiple colors, or turn any bitmap image into a seamless texture with precise control over scale and angle.

• Dynamic Transparencies: Apply solid, graduated, or textured transparencies to any object (including bitmaps) to let underlying layers show through.
