gui/design

This tool provides a point and click interface to make designating shapes and patterns easier. Supports both digging designations and placing constructions.

Usage

gui/design

Overlay

This tool also provides two overlays that are managed by the overlay framework.

dimensions

The gui/design.dimensions overlay shows the selected dimensions when designating with vanilla tools, for example when painting a burrow or designating digging. The dimensions show up in a tooltip that follows the mouse cursor.

rightclick

The gui/design.rightclick overlay prevents the right mouse button and other keys bound to “Leave screen” from exiting out of designation mode when drawing a box with vanilla tools, instead making it cancel the designation first.
