Improvement

Since launch we have shipped dozens of improvements to the Components Designer. Here are the highlights.

Design

  • Front and back masters: Each card gets a front and a back master, with Front and Back views and back thumbnails.

  • Score track generator: Generate a score track around a board and choose how much of the outline it covers.

  • Pen, pencil and merge shapes: Draw vector shapes, sketch with a brush or highlighter and combine shapes.

  • Text and shapes: Type inside a shape, give text boxes a background and paragraph spacing, and add an outer glow to groups.

  • Team favorites: Save colors, elements and shapes the whole team can reuse.

  • Measurements: Work in millimeters or inches, set exact sizes and font sizes in points.

Data Merge

  • Rich cells: Line breaks, formatting and inline icons in table cells. An empty field prints blank, not {{field}}.

  • A better table: Cards stay with their rows, with a row menu, drag to reorder, undo and row backgrounds.

Organize

  • Versions and Duplicate: See a component's versions and duplicate it in one click.

  • Link to a game: Link components to a game straight from the library.

  • More canvas: Fold the top bar and collapse the pages strip, and jump straight to a far card.

Export

  • Print and play: Seam marks, cut lines on one side, page orientation and a preview.

  • Tabletop Simulator: Export decks as plain PNG sheets of up to 70 cards.

  • The Game Crafter: Send components straight to The Game Crafter. Read more
