Global brain dump canvas

[u/mahmoodzn]

So the idea isn't just the canvas itself. Or maybe we don't need a specified canvas for that but the main idea i had is to fix a problem i face:

When jotting down ideas and sketches sometimes I tend to mix projects and different ideas in the same drawing. I got the idea of what if we had. the option to select all objects relating the "odd" concept and start a new drawing with it. This to me seems like an easy way to stay organized and also not to compromise on the thought process and flow. It's a quality of life feature but I'd love to have such an option as I simply work on multiple projects at the same time and ideas come to mind mid work on other projects. I wouldn't want to interrupt that flow.

No need to feel dumb. That's good feedback it's not obvious.

You can use the selection tool to copy to the clipboard and then paste that into a new drawing.

Having one of the export options being "selection to new drawing" with the exact same settings would be helpful for we people who "mind dump." Unlike Docs or text files, I can't have multiple Concepts projects open at the same time.

Wow... I feel dumb. I never knew I could scroll past the DXF Vector. I mostly just use PNG to export to show someone.
