How to create a new icon

Creating your own asset icons for drawings

Updated over 4 months ago

To create a new asset, go to Settings > Drawing Assets > Add > Create New

The asset editor will open.

Select the "Icon" canvas size.

From here, you'll be given a zoomed-in grid where you can create your own icon from scratch.

By default, the canvas is 100x100 pixels.

If you wish to create a larger icon, you can change the canvas size in "Canvas Settings" at the top right.

When you're finished, select the hamburger menu at the top left and click "Save"

For icons, we recommend using the following details:

  • Label: Name used for searching for your asset

  • Code: A unique code you provide for each asset to be used in storing and organizing the assets

  • Stamping: Allows you to repeatably add the asset onto your drawing until you select another tool.
    When unticked, you'll only be able to add this asset once-at-a-time.

  • Format (Use as image): The asset is placed on the drawing as a single image, rather than individually editable elements.

  • Scale: Make the icon bigger/smaller than its original 100x100 size. Ideally we recommend scaling it down to 40%, or using "Auto".

Click "Save".

When you create a new drawing, your asset will appear in your asset library.

You'll be able to use it on your new drawing.
