Zoom mode for presentations

We added this month the ability to zoom inside the presentation mode. This way, people receiving your work will be able to inspect things in greater details. More on presentation in our documentation.

Improved metadata

Rayon finally offers ways to add metadata on...

• Styles.

• Layers

• Pages

This way, entities tagged for instance with a specific style will automatically inherit from the metadata of from it. This feature can be especially useful when using wall styles carrying the price, material etc. of walls. More on metadata in our documentation.

Background for hatches

Hatches in Rayon can from now on be complemented of Fill color. More on styles in our documentation.

Make unique

Rayon now has a new mode, make unique, allowing you to create a new block definition from an existing instance.

More on blocks in our documentation.

Improved stroke scale

We have spent some time making the whole experience of working with line weight much clearer and simpler. From now on, the stroke scale can be found inside the Stroke dropdown of styles, while the difference of thickness between paper canvas and current canvas is directly explained inside the very same menu.

At the same time, we have changed how lines are displayed in exported PDF/images. By default, the lines will be as thick as they appear on-screen in exports. Toggling the Strokes option will override this logic, to reflect stroke scale, if need be.
