Update v4.8 New feature: Magnify! UI, Tooltip & Overall Improvements
Author: Kimiko,
published 9 years ago,
This update brings you the new Magnify feature, which allows you to “magnify” an area that you can’t normally ALT Zoom on. If you created a small board with rules on it and you find it’s hard to see without really zooming in, now you can press M to magnify the board for you. Just remember that it’s different from ALT Zoom, so it will depend on where your camera is facing.
As we’re getting closer to release, we are really working on cleaning things up and removing all the old UI, so you’ll see a lot of that going on as we get down to the wire. We have a [url=http://www.reddit.com/r/tabletopsimulator/comments/363j8k/feature_improvement_requests_upvote_for_your]thread up on our sub-reddit[/url] where you can post your last minute suggestions and improvements that you’d like to see before release.
