Normal Cases

Allows you to configure layers to refer to when creating a selection, or filling.

Some settings may not display depending on the selected tool or sub tool.

(1)   Refer multiple

When turned on, allows you to configure the layer(s) to refer to. If turned off, only the selected layer is referred to.

All layers	Refers all layers. However, hidden layers cannot be referred to.
Reference layer	Refers to layers configured as reference layer.
Selected layer	Refers to layers that are selected on the [Layer] palette.
Layer in folder	Refers to layers within the layer folder. Layers not included in the same folder as the edited layer cannot be referred to.

(2)   Exclude from reference

Toggles non-reference to a layer between on and off. This item can be configured when [Refer multiple] is turned on.

Exclude draft layers [PRO/EX]	Excludes the [Draft layer] from the targets of reference.
Not refer text	[Text layer]s and [Balloon layer]s are excluded from the reference targets.
Not refer editing layer	Excludes layers for drawing from the targets of reference.
Exclude paper layer	Excludes the [Paper layer] from the targets of reference.
Exclude locked layers	Excludes locked layer(s) from the targets of reference.

(3)   Stop filling up to vector path [PRO/EX]

Selects or fills the area up to the center line of vectors. This is valid only when [Vector layers] are referred to.

(4)   Include vector path [PRO/EX]

This item can be configured when [Fill up to vector path] is turned on. The vector center line is included in the selection range or fill range.

(5)   Reference overflow frame

If set on, Drawn frame is included in the border when creating an animation. Reference frame is included in the border if Drawn frame is not set.

(6)   Do not start filling for this color

If set on, the selection or fill are not executed when the color of the reference closed area and color of the color indicator are the same. Clicking the color indicator configures the selected drawing color. Click the icon at the right end to bring up the [Color settings] dialog box to set color.

For details on the [Color settings] dialog box, see "Advanced settings of color Dialog Box" .

 

When File object layer/Light table layer is selected

This settings window is displayed when the file object layer is selected with the [Object] tool or the light table layer is selected with the [Light table] tool.

The file object layer includes files created by exporting the selected layer in a different CLIP STUDIO FORMAT (extension: clip) in addition to the files imported from an external source.

Some settings may not display depending on the selected tool or sub tool.

(1)   File name/Layer name

Displays the reference file name of the selected file object layer. When a layer within the canvas is used as the light table layer, the [Layer name] is displayed when the layer is pasted as the file object layer.

(2)   Path

Displays the reference file path of the file object layer.

(3)   Status

Displays the status of the file object layer. When something is displayed in the [Status], the content or file path of the reference file may have been changed. Import the file again.

(4)   Change file

The file open dialog is displayed, and you can change the reference file for the file object layer. The drawn content of the layer can be changed by changing the file. If the link to the reference file is broken, this issue can be resolved by re-specifying the file. This item is not displayed when a light table layer is selected.

(5)   Open file

The application associated with the reference file of the file object layer is started, and the file is displayed. If the file is in CLIP STUDIO FORMAT (extension: clip), the reference file is displayed in another [Canvas] window, where editing such as drawing can be done. When the reference file is saved, the drawn content on the file object layer is updated at the same time. When edited using a different software, update the file by clicking [Update] and importing the file again.

(6)   Open folder

Opens the folder where the file object layer reference file is saved.

(7)   Update

Reloads the selected file object layer from the reference file and updates it to the new image.

(8)   Rendering settings

You can set the display method for cases where a file in CLIP STUDIO FORMAT (extension: clip) is set as a file object layer.

Fit to resolution of canvas	If the reference file resolution is different to the canvas resolution, the imported file object layer will be changed to the canvas resolution. The displayed size of the file object layer will change depending on the resolution after being adjusted.
Draw paper	Imports the file object layer when the paper layer of the reference file is displayed.
Draw tones in gray	Imports the file object layer when a toned layer is gray.

(9)   Timeline

When CLIP STUDIO FORMAT (extension: clip) has multiple timelines, select the timeline to use.

(10)   Display frame

When CLIP STUDIO FORMAT (extension: clip) that includes a timeline or a movie file is imported, the frame displayed from the movie is set using a slider. The set frame image is displayed in the canvas.

Can be set for canvases that do not have a timeline set, or whose timeline is disabled.

When the timeline is enabled, the file object layer is saved in the animation folder as a cel, which can be set as the [Display frame] by spec­ifying the cel in the [Timeline] palette.

(11)   Playback time

When CLIP STUDIO FORMAT (extension: clip) that includes a timeline or a movie file is imported, the frames (time) set in [Display frame] and playback time of the entire movie are displayed.
