I’m liking the (slightly) new look XTherion. Just one thing, with the smaller and finer linework and points, and I guess a not so large 4K monitor, shaky hands and poor eyesight, I’m finding it quite hard to reliably get my cursor close enough to existing points for it to snap onto them. I expect there may be a variable I could edit in XTherion.ini (or is XTherion.new.ini, there seems to be one of each) that will increase the snapping distance. If so, what is the variable name? (and how to use?)

It does not appear to be a snapping distance, per se. It appears to snap to the points when your cursor is over the top of whatever point you are trying to snap to. So the "distance" is basically "the point icon's size". That means that to change it, you would need to change the size of the point icon (normally a circle, but a triangle in the case of station points). Though maybe there is some scaling option somewhere for that.
Tarquin There are a number of size settings listed in the default xtherion.ini: ## size of point # set xth(gui,me,point,psize) 4 ## size of line point # set xth(gui,me,line,psize) 3 ## line width # set xth(gui,me,line,width) 3 ## size of line control point # set xth(gui,me,line,cpsize) 4 Adjusting these did occur to me, but I was being lazy and asking first, rather than experimenting. I was hoping to keep the small size but have a large snap distance. A comment in the ini file says there are many variables that have not been listed in the default ini files. So thought I may as well ask. I will have a play with the settings above next time I have a drawing session.
