Palo Alto, California - Indeeo today is proud to announce the immediate availability of iDraw 2.4, a major update that brings many new features and improvements to the Mac graphic design and illustration application. iDraw 2.4 adds several powerful new features designed specifically to improve the workflows of both web designers and app developers, including new Core Graphics and CSS export options, along with Slices and an 'Export Layers' panel that can be used to export many image assets automatically from a single mockup or design.

Slices and Layers Export
* Easily export multiple image assets at once using the new 'Export Layers' panel
* Export each layer automatically as a separate PNG, SVG, PDF, PSD, TIFF, or GIF file
* Tag layers, groups, and objects with file names and extensions to export each item as a different file format
* Create slices to specify the exact dimensions of exported assets
* Turn any object into a slice by simply naming it '@slice' and choosing the desired file name
* Since slices are treated as any other object, align and arrange them easily using Smart Guides and alignment commands
* Use custom slice shapes to mask exported images

For Mac / iOS Developers
* Core Graphics code export. Copy vector shapes and effects directly as Core Graphics drawing code
* Convert fully-styled buttons and icons into drawing code, automatically generating CGPaths, CGColors, CGGradients, etc.
* Generate CFAttributedStrings, along with Core Text layout and drawing code, from multi-style text objects
* Turn app design mockups instantly into readily useable code for both Mac and iOS projects

For Web Designers
* Convert styled shapes and buttons into CSS color, border, gradient and shadow definitions
* Speed up web design workflows by automatically generating CSS properties with the appropriate vendor prefixes
* Copy CSS font name and style attributes from text objects
* Copy objects directly as SVG code, which can be pasted inline into HTML files

Shape Libraries
* iDraw 2.4 includes built-in shape libraries for creating iOS 7 iPhone and iPad UI mockups, as well as example symbol and floor plan libraries
* Import and export custom shape library files which can be shared with other users and devices

Other new features include Smart Duplicate, a Pixel-Preview mode for previewing designs as they will appear when exported as a bitmap image, a new Transform Panel for numerically moving, rotating, scaling and shearing objects, as well as improved Path and Arc tools.
