Move & Rotate Layer Sheets
All layers in Trace are free to move around your drawing space just like real trace paper. Press three fingers and briefly hold on any drawing layer or image. Then, drag your three fingers to move and rotate the drawing layer or images.
Pro Tip
If you don't want to accidentally move your layers with this gesture, you can tap Layer Actions (3 dots) next to any layer and turn on the "Lock".
Four Finger Tap
Want a clean workspace that is free of any toolbars? Tap four fingers anywhere on your drawing space to hide all of your toolbars. Tap again with four fingers to make them all visible again.
