DrawWell – WorksWell lite, with only the drawing features

DrawWell for Mac OS X is the “lite” version of WorksWell. It Features all the drawing functionality of WorksWell without Charts, Presentation, PDF Markup and iTunes/iPhoto data merging for those not requiring these features.

DrawWell is a powerful document creation tool with excellent graphics capabilities and many novel and useful features. Documents can be multi-paged, pages can be multi-layered and graphic objects can be grouped into more complex shapes. Documents can be made into palettes so their contents are conveniently available to be reused in other documents. Using palettes allows you to build up comprehensive libraries of easy to use building blocks, or use themed palettes that others have created. One of DrawWell’s more unusual and very powerful features is its built-in merging capability. Merge tokens are dragged onto the document and then data is substituted when the document is printed.

What’s New:
