New inside and behind drawing modes let you draw where you want regardless of stacking order. Using Behind drawing mode, you can draw a background and have it draw behind an object without having to move it after drawing.

Want to paint a design over lettering without going outside of the letter boundaries? Use inside drawing mode! Draw Inside supports paste and place so you can even paste or place inside.

9-slice Scaling allows you to scale symbols such as web tabs without losing the readability or the corners. These new features will add speed and efficiency to your workflow.
