This latest version of the easy-to-use, layer-based, vector-drawing and image editing application for Mac OS X. Designed from the ground up to be intuitive and powerful to use, DrawIt is unique in that it presents the user with a simple and clean interface, yet packs an impressive assortment of useful, professional grade features.

In DrawIt 3.5, the Vector tool has been vastly improved. DrawIt now supports boolean operations like union, subtraction, exclusive or and intersect. Together with another new tool, the ability to turn Text into vector, fantastic results can be easily achieved. When one uses the Text to Vector-tool, one will also appreciate the new commands to split and join sub-paths to put each character in a separate layer.

The new Ghost-preference will speed up vector editing for those without a dedicated graphics card. Besides these major improvements, DrawIt also adds support for cap and join styles and basic arrowheads to the vector tool.

Feature highlights include:
* Powerful Vector Tools
* Vector Boolean Operations
* Text to Vector conversion.
* Non-destructive Editing
* Support for Masks
* Core Image Filters
* Support for Groups
* Bread Crumb Navigation
* Pixel-Precise Positions
* Object Styles
* Supports for several Export formats
