When there is a drawing that occurs across multiple panels, you can share (link) the drawing. This way, any changes you make to one of the drawing affects all other instances, making it faster and more efficient when managing and producing your storyboard.
Duplicating a panel that contains a shared drawing preserves the link.
When sharing is not needed, you can easily unlink an instance of a shared drawing from the other instances.
How to share a drawing
- In the Drawing list, right-click the layer that contains the drawing to share.
- Right-click and select Share Drawing.
The drawing is now available in the Shared Drawings folder of the Library view. In the Layers list, a star appears beside the name of the drawing to indicate that it is a shared drawing.
- To use the shared drawing in another panel, drag it from the Share Drawings folder to the Layer list or Stage view.
How to unlink a shared drawing
- Right-click the layer to unlink and select Unlink from Shared Drawing.
The layer is unlinked from the shared drawing and its instances.
