New Release: Speeding Up Your Prototyping

Brand new elements

Hooray! We’ve been thinking about adding this feature for a while now – and here it finally is: With our December release we are adding a new section to the stencil palette which will contain a large selection of new elements to give you a head start on your projects.

Instead of beginning your projects from scratch, you can browse the new palette section to find exactly the right building blocks you need to get your prototype off the ground in no time. The building blocks consist of groups of stencils that can serve as a starting point for your designs, ranging from simple navigation patterns (e.g. toolbars, tab bars, menus) and various types of forms to full screen templates (e.g. login page, search results page, profile page).

New: Add pre-designed templates to your project

New: Use our pre-designed building blocks to jump-start your project

Custom Stencils now are Masters

Did you know that you can turn any stencil or group of stencils into a re-usable asset that can be managed and edited in one location? Imagine you have just built the perfect login form and want to re-use this form across various screens in your project. You could copy and paste it every time, but if the form changes, you would have to touch every screen again. Why not create a master form that you can re-use on various screens, and any change you make to the master will update all the screens automatically? This feature – thus far known as “Custom stencils” to Pidoco users – will be renamed to “Masters” and be available for the new templates as well. So you can pick any template, edit it to suit your specific needs, then turn it into a master that you can update across the entire project with one simple action. Learn more about masters…

New toolbar design – more canvas space

While we were at it, we also redesigned an important part of Pidoco – the toolbar. We took out some fluff, made it simpler, and in the process freed up a lot of space for you to work more efficiently. With the gain in canvas space, you can expect to be even faster with your prototyping! Try it out…
