    FILE & EXPORT

    EXPORT PNGDownload the drawing as a PNG image
    EXPORT SVGDownload the drawing as an SVG
    COPY SVGCopy the SVG markup to the clipboard
    NO BGExport with a transparent background
    ARTBOARDAdd a paper-sized board (A1–A6, Square, 4:3, 5:4) or edit the selected one
    Click board labelSelect an artboard (select tool); drag the label to move it
    SAVE .arcSave an editable project file
    LOAD .arcOpen a saved project file
    CLEARRemove all shapes from the canvas

    If shapes are selected, the EXPORT functions export only those.

    If an artboard is selected, the EXPORT functions export exactly that area, and the SVG gets the board's paper size in mm. A board's SCALE (set in the ARTBOARD panel) sets how big it is on the canvas: an A5 is 559×794px at 1× and 1119×1587px at 2×. The paper size doesn't change, so stroke widths are relatively thinner on a larger-scale board (1px ≈ 0.26mm at 1×, ≈ 0.13mm at 2×). PNG exports are 1:1 with the canvas.
