Specify Engraved Image?
Is it currently possible to specify the image you want engraved on walls/floors in steam DF? I can't seem to find a way to do so in the new menus. Giving rooms themed engravings is something I always really enjoyed in classic DF. :)

Yup, it is! Pause the game, designate an engraving order, cancel out of designation mode with a right mouse click, click on the tile(s) you just designated for engraving. A window will pop up and give you the option to "Specify image".

All of this has to happen before one of your engravers is allocated to the engraving job on the tile, hence pausing is necessary - if you see the engraving marker on the tile, it's already too late and you need to cancel the engraving designation and start over. You can't specify images on engraving jobs that are already in progress.

Ah ha! The walls weren't selectable before being designated, so it didn't occur to me they would be after. Thank you!
