Previewing & Sharing
Origami Studio supports previewing live prototypes on iOS and Android, as well as easy sharing of files to any phone or tablet with the iOS/Android Origami Live apps.
Mirroring with USB
Connect an iOS or Android device via USB and run Origami live. The frontmost prototype will immediately begin previewing on the phone or tablet. Any changes you make in Origami Studio are immediately reflected in the preview, without needing to restart it.
Origami Live for iOS
- Download it from the App Store
- Connect your iPhone or iPad with a USB cable
- Open Origami Studio and make sure you have at least one document open
Exporting Prototypes
Export a prototype to your phone or tablet via the export button in the toolbar:
Then, take your phone or tablet with you to test your ideas on the go.
Sharing Prototypes
Origami Studio files can also be sent directly to a phone or tablet via email, Dropbox, AirDrop, etc. Download the corresponding iOS app to open any prototype.
Using Custom Fonts
Origami Studio doesn’t add custom fonts by default into your prototype. This has to be done intentionally for the specific fonts you want to embed. Since you need to have the license for the fonts or the font allows you to embed it. You can import and embed fonts from the “Font Manager” in the bottom section.
Troubleshooting
In most cases, issues can be resolved by restarting Origami Live, Origami Studio, or the phone/tablet/computer.
Make sure that both Origami Studio and Origami Live are on the latest version.
