The slider will open as you slide it and close as soon as you lift your finger from the screen. If you want to adjust the size, opacity or smoothness values quickly in flow, just tap+hold+slide on any of the shortcut buttons to adjust immediately. Select a preset by tapping on it, then drag your finger along the slider to set its value, or tap+hold the preset value to manually enter a new value. Tap one to bring up a slider and find your tool’s presets. The middle ring contains shortcuts to your brush size, opacity, and smoothness. To learn helpful techniques on applying artboards, importing and exporting work, and getting the most out of your infinite canvas, enjoy our tutorial Working with Your Infinite Canvas. When you Export, you can choose to capture the image according to the artboard’s sizing. Tap+hold a corner of the artboard to move it about - handy for framing your drawing just so, cropping images into an exact size, and getting a reference for how big / small your drawing is based on real-world scale. Just go to the Settings menu and define your custom size or choose from the popular choices. Of course, you can add a predefined boundary or artboard to your infinite canvas, too. Tap one to quickly navigate to the closest off-screen stroke. If you move far away from your drawing, you'll see some pointers appear on the outside edges of the screen. For a more precise level, tap+hold the zoom/rotation values in the Status Bar. You'll notice there are "zoom steps" at common increments which help you find standard sizes and rotations by feel. Lines stay sharp no matter how far you go - one of the many benefits of a vector-based platform. To zoom in and out, or to rotate the canvas, use a two finger pinch / spread gesture. If you’re using an Apple Pencil, you can set your Finger Action to pan around as well, which makes navigating while drawing more convenient. You can pan around using two fingers normally, or one finger while using the Pan tool. With the infinite canvas, there are no boundaries unless you set them yourself.Ĭoncepts is equipped with an infinite canvas, which is our way of saying you can extend your paper in any direction you need it, as far as you need it to go. Work on the bigger picture or zoom in to focus on the details. You can find many different resources there, including the ability to Ask Us Anything directly from the app. Help is always a tap away via the question mark.

The Settings button lets you access workspace-specific settings like your paper type, artboard size and units + scale, as well as gesture and stylus configuration options. Double-tapping on these values resets them back to default. This also applies when you have a selection and want to fine-tune measurements and get things just right. You can tap+hold these values to set them to something specific. The zoom / rotation info helps you retain a reference to the canvas state - it’s easy to feel lost sometimes. You’ll also see an animated blue strip just below the status bar when Concepts is working. It’ll normally say “Go Pro” or “Pro” (which links to the in-app store), but will change to various states like “Saving” or “Rendering” when appropriate.
