What's new: the icon editor, easier and more exact
- Select by tapping a layer on the canvas (tap again for the one under it), and move it with the ✥ handle straight away, no press and hold.
- Lines up with other shapes' edges and middles as you move it, with guide lines. Hold Ctrl (⌘) while dragging for a slow, exact drag; values show beside the pointer.
- On phones: a view pad moves and zooms the view (a finger on the canvas no longer knocks it), a nudge pad moves the layer by 1 or 10 with a Fine switch for drags, and a magnifier shows what's under your finger.
- Preferences (the gear): handle size and opacity, the move handle, what touching the canvas does, snapping and the turning step, and every shortcut. Pack Rat keeps them on this device.
- The point an animation turns about can be typed, put anywhere in pixels, or attached to another layer (a clock hand on its pin, following it if it moves).
- Try it: scrub a value a layer's animation reads to see it move, with a motion trail of where it goes, without changing anything.
- The padlock locks the view; F zooms to the selection.
