Starting second instance of MyDraw?

Vlad Blanshey — Tue, 15 Oct 2019 12:40:14 GMT

Hello, I just started checking out a evaluation copy of MyDraw. It feels very good from the start. I encountered couple problems which are probably due to my inexperience with software.
From within one instance of Mydraw (while editing one document) I want to create another new instance to have them side by side so that I can copy and paste components from one doc to another. But Mydraw starts a new instance by closing the current opened one. Is it the only normal behavior or it can be changed?
How to get two documents side by side: current and a new one?
My PC has Windows 10 Pro

Hi Can you let me know how this is done?
(to open multiple pages or documents)
When I open an existing file, my current file is closed and any unsaved changes are lost!

I'm also interested in this function (using v4.1.2 on mac).

Hello Vlad,

In the latest version (2.3.1) you can have more than one instance of MyDraw and successfully drag and drop shapes from one instance to another.
