Pag3 is a space for your ideas that are too BIG for paper! With a boundless, 3-dimensional workspace Pag3 has room for all your notes, diagrams, and scribbles.
Follow along this tutorial to take your first steps in Pag3!
Your toolbar contains everything you need to customize your workspace.
On the very left of the toolbar is your File Options. Here you will be able to save your documents, open existing documents, save screenshots, and more!
Next up is your tools! Here you can select any tool Pag3 has to offer including a Pen, Eraser, Text Block Tool, and more!
To the right of the tools is your Layers, where you can organize your document into different layers and toggle their visibility.
The Align View button allows you to reset your viewport to its default orientation.
There are also two buttons that allow you to toggle the page grid and ruler visibility.
The last two buttons on the toolbar provide a quick way to undo and redo your actions (and mistakes)!
Sometimes switching to the move and rotate tools can be a bit of a pain, so we provide a simpler way to navigate the document by using your mouse, finger, or pen to drag on the outer borders of your document. The top border and left border allow you to move the document while the bottom border and right border provide a quick way to rotate your viewport!
Pag3 also provides a quick way to erase mistakes without switching to the eraser tool. If you are using the Pen or Multi Tool you can press and hold on the document for a second and your tool will start erasing!
We've covered all the basics of Pag3. You can always revisit this tutorial or read the extended help document by clicking the help icon in your file options.

There are a few different ways to move around a document in Pag3. The most straightforward way is by switching to the Move Tool and then dragging your mouse, pen, or finger in the direction you would like to move the document. Similarly, you can also switch to the Rotation Tool and do the same actions to rotate around your current focal point.
There are also hidden control areas on the borders of the window. The top and left borders can be used to move the document, while the right and bottom borders can be used for rotation. You can use the borders by using your mouse, pen, or finger to click and drag near the edge of the window.
If you are using a touchscreen device, you can also use touch controls with most of the Pag3 tools to move around the document.
Additionally, if you are using a mouse and keyboard, you can hold SHIFT while clicking and dragging the mouse to move the document. Similarly, you can hold CTRL to rotate your view.
To scale the viewport, you can scroll the mouse wheel or track pad to zoom in and out. If you are using touch controls, you can use two fingers with a pinching gesture to zoom out, or two fingers with a spreading gesture to zoom in.
You can select any object in your document by right clicking its location with a mouse or tapping its location with your finger while using the Multi Tool. You can also switch to the Box Select Tool and use your mouse, pen, or finger to outline a rectangular area and select everything inside. To deselect your selection, you can use the same actions on an empty area of the document.
You can move, rotate, or scale any object you have placed by selecting the object(s) and then using any of the control points that appear to drag the selecting somewhere else, or rotate/scale the selection at its current location.
To create a text block, you can use the Text Tool and click or tap where you would like to add a text block. Once created, a text input box will appear where you can edit the contents of the block. Pag3 supports limited Markdown formatting to provide a simple and universal way to style your text.
