Version 1.60 for Windows - Auto Gradient, Dashed Strokes, and Precision Zoom
Axialis IconVectors 1.60 is now available for Windows 32-bit and 64-bit. This release focuses on practical SVG icon production details: styling flat artwork with Auto Gradient, keeping dashed and dotted strokes editable, fitting artwork to exact export bounds, and navigating the canvas with more precise zoom controls.
Windows users can update from Help -> Check for Updates or install the latest trial from the download page. IconVectors 1.60 for macOS and Linux is coming soon.
What's new in 1.60
- Auto Gradient - Turn a flat fill or stroke into a same-tone linear or radial SVG gradient in one step, then tune gradient type, angle, and strength.
- Dashed and dotted strokes - Apply editable SVG dash presets from the Control Bar or define custom dash patterns. The result stays SVG-native through standard dash attributes.
- Fit Icon to Canvas - Scale the current icon to the available canvas while preserving aspect ratio, centering the result, and keeping stroke widths unchanged.
- Precision zoom workflow - Type exact zoom percentages, use the Set Zoom Level dialog, trigger numpad shortcuts, or drag a canvas area with the Zoom tool to fit and center it.
- Center on Largest - Center selected elements on the largest selected object for faster badge, overlay, and composition alignment.
- MCP, cleanup, and export refinements - Analyze/Clean Up Icon, local MCP automation, preview rendering, palette workflows, and developer code export remain part of the same production workflow.
- Bug fixes - Editing, export, packaging, and automation reliability have been improved.
Where the new tools fit
Auto Gradient and dashed strokes are useful when imported or AI-generated icons need a fast production styling pass without flattening SVG structure. Fit Icon to Canvas helps prepare exact icon exports after cleanup, while Center on Largest speeds up common badge and overlay alignment work.
The MCP workflow also remains current. Local AI clients can inspect the open document, run cleanup analysis, apply palette and gradient operations, render previews, and export code or files from the running editor.
