40d:Engraving

Engraving encompasses both smoothing stone and engraving it. Both jobs are accessed from the [d]esignations menu, and require the Engraving labor to be turned on.
A wall that has already been smoothed can be engraved on. Engravings increase dwarf happiness, raise the value of a room and provide a record of the history of your fort. Fortifications cannot be engraved on. A masterwork engraving that is destroyed or defaced (magma and goblins do the job nicely) may cause the engraver to tantrum.
Engravings can be viewed by pressing 'k', moving the cursor over the engraved area, using the + or - keys to move down to the engraving and pressing enter. Adventurers are also able to view these by revisiting your old fortress.
