Custom formats

Dylation offers several predefined formats based on European and US standards. These formats can be used to adapt the page to the selected format.

You can also create and save your own formats to enable faster and easier testing of commonly used formats. If required, it is also possible to bundle formats into groups.

Create a new format
Create a new folder

Besides this you may import or export your formats.

The deletion of the formats is done via the trashcan icon.

Structure view

Note

The structure view is not included in the Dylation Vanilla version, because it is in beta state only.

Templates in which many dependencies have been defined are sometimes difficult to handle. In this case, it is very challenging to implement improvements or correct errors.

The Structure View reduces complexity by displaying only the dependencies related to the selected frame. By focussing on a single frame it will be much easier to enhance a template.

By double-clicking an arrow or a frame ID, the focus can be set to another frame.
