Shapes tool, import capture iOS?

I've tried researching and a post here said to use the shapes tool to insert an SVG I have in Capture. Thing is I don't see that button on the iPhone version.

 

If I import from the library like usual, it does not import as an SVG. This seems very basic but I'm very frustrated how bad this is going.

Hi Cody,

 

You are right, placed SVG files (as well as other assets) from Creative Cloud Libraries come in as image layers, which can be converted to pixel layers. I don't see any way around that.

 

If you prefer working with your shapes in vector, you need to switch to Adobe Illustrator, which isn't available on the iPhone, only iPad (or obviously desktop). Fresco is more geared towards painting vs vector drawing.

Thanks. I'll grab an iPad and illustrator. In most capacities, a phone is not enough anyways. Just getting into vector art. It's been a long time
