New Features

    • A long press on an object and a three-finger tap elsewhere on the canvas will duplicate the shape.
    • A long press on an object and swiping quickly elsewhere will nudge the object in that direction.
    • A long press on an object and a two-finger drag up or down elsewhere on the canvas will move the object forwards or backwards in the z-dimension.
  • A new smart guide has been added to maintain aspect ratio when resizing a shape.
