Pan & Zoom

Use ^Ctrl + scroll to zoom and Space + drag left mouse button to pan around. If these feel slow or sluggish, your performance may be impacted by too many objects in your project. Consider moving some scraps to a different file.

You can also set the zoom level in the bottom right corner of the screen.

If your cursor is inside an input (settings panel or scraps panel), press Esc to blur, otherwise pressing Space will just input a space.

General editing functions

This app supports undo and redo, copy and paste, with the usual shortcuts.

Scrap management

The Scraps panel can be opened by clicking Scrap > Scraps panel in the menubar. The panel shows all the scraps in the project, which can be reordered or deleted, with the exception of the Default scrap. They can also be renamed.

Each scrap has a visibility checkbox, an info icon, and a button to select every object in the scrap. When you hover over the info icon, it will show the number of objects on that scrap and how many are selected.

XVI editing

If you have XVI graphics in your project, they are not visible in the scraps panel by default. You can use Scrap > XVI edit mode to toggle XVI edit mode on and off. When this mode is on, the scraps panel only shows your XVI graphics. You can select these like scraps, which makes them editable.

You can move XVI graphics around or remove them from the project. When you are done, go back with Scrap > XVI edit mode.

History panel β

This panel shows all the actions you've made that have been recorded by wtherion. When you press undo, it jumps back one step to the previous entry, and pressing redo will jump forward, if there are any entries to go forward to. You can also click any of the entries in the panel to jump straight to that point in the history.

When you make changes (for example on a settings panel) and you don't see these as an entry in the history, you should not press undo, because these changes will be lost and redo won't recover them. You should only use undo when you know what the last entry was, and you want to undo it.
