Version 1.70 for Windows - Element Library, SVG Properties, and Pixel-Align Selection

Axialis IconVectors 1.70 is now available for Windows 32-bit and 64-bit. This release adds a practical Element Library for reusable SVG artwork, a new SVG Properties dialog for document-level output settings, and Pixel-Align Selection for one-click pixel-grid cleanup of selected artwork.

Windows users can update from Help -> Check for Updates or install the latest trial from the download page. IconVectors 1.70 for macOS and Linux will follow later.

What's new in 1.70

• Element Library - Insert ready-to-use SVG elements from a disk-backed library. Direct subfolders become palette tabs, optional line folders provide line variants, and custom SVG files can be added by the user.
• SVG Properties - Edit document-level SVG output properties from Icon -> SVG Properties..., including output size, root id, title, description, and preserveAspectRatio. The editor canvas continues to use the SVG viewBox.
• Pixel-Align Selection - Align selected artwork to the pixel grid with Element -> Align -> Pixel-Align Selection, the Control Bar button, X, or Shift+Alt+P.
  
• Editor keyboard shortcuts - Use C to cycle line caps, J to cycle line joins, and S in the Path Editor for smooth/angle point behavior. These shortcuts are canvas-focused and do not run while typing in text fields.
• Temporary tool switching - Hold Ctrl to temporarily switch between the Selection Tool and Path Editor Tool, then release it to return to the previous tool.
• Bug fixes and improvements - Several editing, update, import, export, and workflow details have been improved.

Reusable elements you can customize

The Element Library is designed for quick insertion of common shapes, symbols, and custom team artwork. It loads from the user's local Element Library folder, so teams can organize their own SVG files into folders and reuse them directly from the editor.

Imported elements remain normal editable SVG artwork. Explicit colors, gradients, strokes, caps, joins, and dash styles are preserved. Elements that use currentColor can still inherit the current fill or stroke workflow.

Better SVG output control

The SVG Properties dialog separates the editing canvas from output dimensions. For example, you can keep editing a 24x24 viewBox while saving explicit root dimensions such as width="128" and height="128" when that is what your target platform expects.

Pixel-perfect cleanup

Pixel-Align Selection is a one-click correction command, not a snap-to-grid mode. It is especially useful after scaling line artwork, inserting line elements, or refining icons that need crisp edges at small sizes. Complex and curved artwork is handled conservatively to avoid damaging the drawing.
