I like pretty much everything about this app except for the UX around pasting in images. You can only paste in an image if you first take a screenshot of it, which seems weird. why add extra unnecessary steps? Why not just allow people to paste things in?
Developer Response
Hi, actually this should work.For example: You can copy images from your Photos app to the system pasteboard and paste them into Infinity Sketch.Please reach out to me on X if you need further help.
An app for Marine Engineers
phspman
This app is great for marine engineers when they are tracing systems. It’s like writing on engineering graph paper but your lines snap straight without needing a straight edge!I do have a few feature requests.- In-App-Tutorials: You should make a tutorials page with all of your X videos because I couldn’t figure out how to make perfect circles or rotate drawings till I looked at your X profile.- Grid Presets: The ability to save presets and make one default so when the user creates a new drawing, the preset is automatically applied.- Text annotations for labeling components.- A Symbol Library: Save selected symbol drawings and access them in a collapsible side panel by dragging the symbol to the canvas. Allow the user to create multiple libraries to categorize components.

These are valid points. I have them on my to-do list!Thank you very much!
Background Grid
Bill in Central TX
Is there a way to export the background grid? If so, solid 5 stars.
Developer Response
With version 1.10, a new 'Include Grid in Export' option has been added to the document settings, enabling the grid to appear in the exported PNG image when activated. Enjoy ;)
Pretty good but…

Could you include a way to do diagonal lines? Like 45° snap? I know the ruler will do it but it would be cool for like drawing a resistor in a schematic or I’m sure there’s other diagonal stuff people draw like monster teeth or whatever
Developer Response
Hi! Thank you very much for your feedback :)Drawing perfect 45° diagonal lines is definitely possible with the current grid system. I posted a short video on my X profile, which shows how to draw American resistors ;)
New tool: Bring to Front / Send to Back. A new pen sits in the PencilKit palette right after the Eraser. It doesn't draw — dragging across strokes pushes them to the top (Bring to Front) or bottom (Send to Back) of the z-order. Each stroke moves at most once per drag; the whole drag is one Undo entry. Tap the pen a second time to switch between the two modes; the badge on the pen swaps to match.
Side Panel — the toolbar's old Lines & Grids button is now a generic Side Panel button. Its icon mirrors which edge the panel docks to. The header has a menu that switches between Lines & Grids and the new Images subpanel; your last choice is remembered until you reopen the document.
New: Images panel. Lists the rect-selected placed images on the canvas. Each row has a thumbnail, a pin button, and an opacity slider with a percent field. Drag rows to reorder the front-to-back stack within their layer.
Pin to send an image to a separate background layer — pinned images always render behind any non-pinned image, regardless of list order, while z-order is preserved among pinned and among non-pinned independently. Pinned images can still be rect-selected, but they stay put when the rest of the selection is moved, transformed, or deleted — release them with "Unpin selected images" in the rect-select menu.
