5 stars if only export vector worked

Love this as a drawing app - motion graphic ability is excellent, I can use my custom photoshop brushes, and many more great features. However I just tried making a vector piece and sharing editable vector art work to my main pc was practically impossible. Sending to illustrator didn’t work, saving as psd lost some layers and opening in Ai wasn’t a smooth operation. I had to save as pdf, send the file to my MacBook then open the pdf in Ai and I still lost layer/artwork information.
