Release Notes: New Icon Library and Alignment Grid

We’ve added an entire beautiful library of over 8600 colorful and crisp SVG icons that you can drag into your boards and use in whatever way you’d like! Create mindmaps, mockups, schemes, and organize visual brainstorming sessions. 

The icons are split into 4 different styles (Solid, Line, Color, and Flat) as well as 18 different category packages. 

Solid and Line icons are color customizable. You can also add helpful caption text to icons by double clicking on the icon or pressing enter while the item is selected (like other text items in the board). 

The icon search is English language based but helpful terms are automatically populated in the search dropdown as you’re typing. 

New board grid with alignment, scaling, snapping guides

A new dynamic board grid background will help users achieve pixel perfection alignment. You can turn off the grid from the board View menu. 

The following helpful board grid is visible based on the amount you’re zoomed in. Snapping can be turned off by holding down Shift while moving an item.

  • ~15% – 90%    Thick lines every 100px
  • 90% – 400%    Thick lines every 100px. Medium lines every 20px.
  • 400% – 800%  Thick lines every 100px. Medium every 20px. Fine lines every 1px. 

Navigation between board items improved

Zooming in and out of the board, as well as moving between sections and items in the board was sped up significantly and streamlined.  Previously you would be zoomed out while navigating to a new section of the board, this has been removed to make the navigation much faster. 

Option to turn off automatic device detection

Automatic device detection

Those of you with a magic mouse or that prefer to have a set “mouse, trackpad, or tablet” mode across all of their boards, you can now turn off the automatic trackpad detection from the minimap.

    Snapping stays on for me, even with the Shift key down. I REALLY need a way to turn this off, I have to do ‘workarounds’ all the time. If it cant be turned off, please reduce the snapping distance… currently it snaps from a long way away

    Sorry I should clarify my earlier remark… It’s the Red Dots on the midpoints of objects that I dont want to snap to when drawing … I need to be able to turn that off

    • Hey Steve! I am really sorry but I know what you mean. There is no current solution than (e.g.) drawing somewhere else, then dragging the new grouped object to it’s final place. At least this is how I do it. Nevertheless I will take the issue to the developers and ask them for their opinion on the matter.
