These features include:

⭐ 9 Point Snap to Grid for objects 
⭐ VTT Export - Precise Pixels Per Grid Export for Seamless VTT Integration

Snap to Grid

Unlock the full potential of precise map-making with our new Snap to Grid feature, enhanced with a 9-point precision system! ✨

Easily activate this feature by selecting the Snap to Grid checkbox located on the bottom panel. 

This enables you to:

⚪ Preview the placement of a new object with snap precision before setting it down.
⚪ Effortlessly move already-placed objects with snap accuracy.

This functionality extends beyond stamps, encompassing all object types, including groups.

Please note, the Snap to Grid functionality is currently exclusive to the classic square grid type.

The Snap to Grid option is conveniently situated on the bottom panel, adjacent to the Show Grid option.

VTT (Grid) Export

Elevate your Virtual Tabletop (VTT) sessions with our newly introduced VTT (Grid) Export option. This feature is a game-changer for map creators who bring their adventures to life on VTT platforms.

Now, you can precisely adjust the Grid size in pixels and tailor the grid Columns and Rows right at the export stage. This customization ensures that your maps seamlessly fit into any VTT platform you prefer, making the import process smoother than ever.
