Draw and place images on a scene

GM onlyPen, line, rectangle, ellipse, and cone drawings can be table-visible or GM-only.

Use retained vector drawings or content-addressed PNG, JPEG, and WebP images on the drawing layer.

1 minute read

Open the Draw flyout in Table for vector marks. Choose Pen (P), Line, Rectangle, Ellipse, or Cone, choose table or GM visibility, then drag on the scene. Snap follows the Table snap toggle; hold Shift while drawing an ellipse to constrain it to a circle.

Each drawing is retained scene data with a stable id. Select it to move, resize, rotate, change its visibility, or delete it. A pen stroke is simplified and bounded rather than stored as every pointer sample.

Use Place image for a PNG, JPEG, or WebP. Aether stores the bytes through the world's content-addressed asset path, preserves the aspect ratio, and places a scene-image document on the drawing layer. The selectable fallback remains visible if the image cannot load.

Vector deletion is permanent

Deleting one vector drawing or choosing Clear all drawings does not enter personal History. The confirmation names the count before removal. Placed image documents use the normal document path and may have different History behavior.

These are map annotations and scene images, not Library page images. Put reusable written material in Library and use Share and present Library material when the goal is a handout on player screens.
