![]() Here are a few things I’ve created using Scapple to formulate my thoughts and to reduce the amount of paper I have floating about. So if you have a list of points in a text file you can have them separated out into individual notes. When you drag and drop a text document, you will be asked if you want to keep it as 1 note or split it. You can add pictures to your Scapple screen by simply dragging and dropping them in. You have the option of opening up Inspector which will remain on top and give you access to the formatting options quickly. If you hold Alt + Ctrl (option+command for Mac) you will create an arrow pointing in the reverse direction. To create them, hold down Alt (option key for Mac) when dragging one note onto another then it will create an arrow with the head pointing to the second note. The dotted lines are the default connectors, but you can use arrow connectors. When you want to change a colour, simply click on the note (or select multiple notes) and choose the colour option you want to change such as fill.Ī palette chart will pen and you have the choice of selecting the array of basic colours or using the detailed palette and picking your own hue. The format menu lets you change the text, border and fill colours. You can change the style of several notes at once so they are all the same, by holding down ctrl and selecting the notes you want to change.Īs well as weight and shape of borders, you can also add colour. The default style for your notes is rounded border but no outline. You can make it darker by going up to 5 px, or finer by going to 1 px. You have the choice of 4 different border styles, rounded, square, jagged and cloud – all featured below. This is where you can make changes to things such as alignment, colour and borders. You will most likely use the Format menu on the toolbar the most. To remove a connection, repeat the process – drag the note on top of the second one again and the line vanishes. You can then move them apart as far or as close as you want and the line remains. When you let go, the two notes will be connected. Simply create your separate notes and then grab one (the selected note is highlighted) and drag it on top of the other note. Connecting NotesĪs per the below image, you can connect your notes with dotted lines. Moving them is just click, drag and drop. You can then type to change it to whatever note you want. If you double click on the page, a “new note” will appear as below. SCAPPLE KEY HOW TOThe directions in the middle advising you how to proceed.
