Have you seen the sugar monster?<\/h2>\n

Halloween is a strange and wonderful time for everybody. Isn\u2019t it priceless to see the effort kids (and grown-ups) put into dressing up and walking around begging for treats? If scary is what you’re going for, try getting in between the little ones and their candy, or worse, sticking around after they’ve had too much! No matter how you look at it, kids, candy and Halloween together is like a great horror movie – so much fun, because it’s so scary!<\/p>\n

The double-edged sword of candy and Halloween is a long discussion.\u00a0Every Halloween my doorbell rings, I hear the words ‘trick or treat’ and candy leaves my house. But no success yet in tricking anyone to leave the candy for me.<\/p>\n

I seem to have better luck surprising people with design tricks in E3.series, so let’s talk about that instead. There are some treats in store for you as well but let\u2019s start with the tricks.<\/p>\n

Losing yourself in 256 levels of excitement…<\/h2>\n

The age-old drafting function \u2018layer\u2019 is widely used in design to manage the information on a drawing.\u00a0Needless to say, it is easy to forget it exists in E3.series with all the other automation and intelligence making life easy. Layers are known as Levels in E3.series<\/a> and they are, as you might guess, a much more intelligent version than the ghost of the old design tools. The trick here is to use the levels to help you standardize and reduce the effort to create a perfect drawing.<\/p>\n

Levels in E3.series can control multiple items all at once or you can choose to control them individually. Easily show\/hide elements of your choice on any of the 256 levels available in the project. The standard library uses levels as a basic guide for standardization, making the library a perfect place to assign specific levels to the design elements controlled by project-specific configuration.<\/p>\n
