v3.5.0 • tldraw Docs

This release introduces enhancements to grid snapping during shape creation, improves layering mechanics, and provides better control over export functionality.

What's new

Grid snapping for shape creation (#4894)

Shapes now automatically align to the grid when drawn in grid mode. The new maybeSnapToGrid function enables snapping for both click-created and drag-created shapes.

Improved layering actions (#4898)

The "bring forward" and "send backward" actions now only consider nearby overlapping shapes, making layer management more intuitive when working with complex canvases.

API changes

Add scale and pixelRatio parameters to export utilities for more precise control over export dimensions and quality.
Expose font size and stroke size APIs.
Add socket close reason for rate limiting.
Add option to toggle double-click text creation.

Improvements

Improve panning performance for note-heavy canvases and zoomed-out views.
Improve page menu hover interaction.
Add custom React provider support in SVG exports.
Switch default theme to light mode.
Improve frame heading right-click behavior.

Bug fixes

Fix off-screen shape zoom-to-edit.
Fix erasing state stickiness.
Fix frame heading drag interactions.
Fix Safari sleep-related crashes.
