After tapping the plus button in the center bottom of the gallery, a new drawing will open.

狀態欄

APP頂部的狀態欄是黑色的。從左至右有：

Drop-down Menu. This handy menu allows you to save your work and open a New drawing, Open an existing drawing, Save your work, Export a drawing, manage your Settings, learn about Concepts, purchase in-app features, find 24-hr “Ask Us Anything” support, and exit the app.
Breadcrumbs. You’re using the Concepts app, currently in this “Untitled” drawing, working in “Layer A”.
Start a New Drawing, aka +. Save your current drawing and start a new drawing by tapping or clicking on the +.
Pro商店：顯示購買狀態、所有可提高您創作效率的可購買工具或套件。
Minimize. Send the app to wait patiently in your dock.
Full Screen vs. Window Mode. Shrink your canvas and show your workspace, or expand to a full display.
Quit. Touch the X to quit the app instead of finding treasure.

工具轉輪/欄

Below the status bar is your Tool Wheel, including eight of your favorite tools (each configurable), and an Undo and Redo button.

The wheel is movable. If you tap+hold+drag (or click+drag) on the wheel, you’ll find you can drag the wheel about and put it anywhere you’d like on the canvas. Pass the center line and the wheel will switch to left-handed mode.

Some people prefer their buttons larger or smaller to fit their fingers. You can scale the tool wheel by pinching or expanding your fingers on it, and find the size that is most comfortable for you. If you’re on a desktop, hover the mouse over it and scroll up or down.

Tap a tool on the outer ring to activate it and start drawing. Tap it again (or double-tap an inactive tool) to enter the Brushes menu, where you can choose from many different tools and find your flair. More about this in Brushes.

工具轉輪中心一環上三項設定可配置當前工具。

尺寸：使用尺寸滑條設定筆劃闊度大小。選擇其中一個預設值，設定後可快速切換常用的筆劃闊度大小。
不透明度：使用不透明度滑條設定筆刷的透明度。100%完全不透明，0%完全透明。
Smoothing. Use the smoothing slider and presets to set how much “smart” smoothing you’d like your line to have. Smoothing happens after you draw, not during - live smoothing is coming soon.
0% smoothing gives you the raw stroke straight from your hand input, 50% smoothing takes many of the bumps out for a more polished stroke, and 100% smooths the stroke into a perfectly straight line between start and end points, no matter how wriggly it started.

At the center of the tool wheel, you’ll see the current color and opacity of your brush. Tap this circle to reveal the COPIC color wheel, Too Corporation’s beautiful design and illustration spectrum. Tap a color to select it. Read more on Colors below.

If you drag the tool wheel to the center of the screen, you’ll see a canvas layout manager. Drag the weel on the image representing the tool bar and your tool wheel will become a tool bar. You can also toggle between the wheel and the bar in the settings menu. The same abilities are available with the tool bar as with the tool wheel, with the customizations and color options available along the inside edge.

無限大畫布

無論是繪製一幅巨圖亦或縮小關注細節，無限大畫布都能讓你的創作收放自如。當然，你也可以選擇設定畫布的大小。

Concepts is equipped with an infinite canvas, which is our way of saying you can extend your paper in any direction you need it, as far as you need it to go. Pan around using two fingers normally, or one finger while using the Selection tool. If you’re using a Surface Pen, you can set your Finger Action to pan around as well, which makes navigating while drawing more convenient.

To zoom in and out, or to rotate the canvas, use a two finger pinch / spread gesture. Lines stay sharp no matter how far you go - one of the many benefits of a vector-based platform. You'll notice there are "zoom steps" at 10% increments which help you find standard sizes and rotations by feel.

You can also set your zoom level manually by tapping on the zoom value at the top right corner of the canvas and entering it in.

If you get lost on your canvas (infinite is very big), you can double-tap the zoom value field and you’ll be brought back to the center of the canvas.

Of course, you can add a predefined boundary or artboard to your infinite canvas, too. Just go to the Settings menu and define your custom size or choose from the popular choices.

復原/重做

In case you need to take a step back and change something, you can always use the undo and redo buttons on the tool wheel. But you may use them less than you think.

在畫布上兩指點按復原屬於常用設定。我們甚至聽過設計師講很可惜無法在紙張上使用該手勢復原。

But the biggest reason you might not use undo so much is that we’re vector-based, which means you can Select and adjust the offending line, or delete it entirely whenever you want. This is a selective way to alter your sketch (no pun intended) without being limited to a brute force undo that loses all of your latest work. We think you'll prefer it.

圖層

Finally on the main canvas, you’ll see the Layers menu. This is also movable. Just tap+drag the Layers button to anywhere on the canvas you’d like it. Read more about Layers below.

使用觸控筆

Concepts is at its best with a stylus, though it works with a mouse on PCs with Windows installed. Currently Concepts is optimized for working with the Surface Pen, a pressure and tilt-sensitive stylus for the Surface, Pro and Dial. We do not have official support for other styli or touchscreens, but you may find that they work regardless. If you have devices you’d like us to optimize for, please let us know.
