Dear all,

Is there a way to copy a sketch from an existent design to another design without copying the whole design?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Currently there is no direct copy between projects. What you can do is duplicating the project on the Designs screen, enter it, delete all unnecessary parts, export it in .shapr format, and import it to the project you want to use it in.
