Combining bitmaps and vectors on iOS: Cut and paste from #Procreate to #iDraw

Step 1: Select the layer with the bitmap you'd like to cut and paste from Procreate. If the object is across multiple layers, duplicate the file and then pinch together all the layers you want to merge in Procreate

Step 2: Swipe your finger left-to-right across the layer and select Copy

Step 3: Open iDraw and create a new document or open the one you're working on

Step 4: Create a new layer and paste the Procreate image into iDraw just as you'd paste any other object in the clipboard

Note: You can do exactly the same in Inkpad and TouchDraw (and the latest Brushes, although that's a bitmap app not a vector one). And I'm sure there are plenty of other apps that can do the same. If not you can do the same thing through the camera roll. This just removes a step. (Also, note that iDraw as far as I can tell can only import a single camera roll image per document as a background, and not add images to individual layers.)
