Hello, is this on your roadmap?

Have multiple tabs opened with different design files and the ability to export objects from a tab to another through a right click drop down menu and/or drag and drop the object to a different tab?

I’m sick of having to export as Shapr file, open a different design file and then importing in that said file…

Thanks.

This is also something I find missing. I’m often referencing multiple files at once and want to be able to copy/paste between them or just easily tab back and forth without losing context.

I too would love to see this implemented.

Just found myself hopping in and out of different files and wanting tabs. Please add! 😃

If it had cut/copy-paste between tabs, that would be killer.
