Drawing is now available in Google Docs

LOL at the Writely! text :D

Good fins Tony! It should be a handy feature for a lot of people, mostly those with wacoms

The only downfall is that it's not as sensitive to the pen.

Just as I thought... :-)

Very nice. Every week I need my desktop applications less and less. This will be great for flowcharts.

I've had no luck sending a Google Doc with a drawing that still includes the drawing once exported as a .doc or PDF. Anyone else seeing this?

TonyB:

Yes, I tried it twice, I just get a blank page.

Do they test these things at all?

Of course they don't. You test these thigs for them. ;-)

It doesn't print images or show in Print Preview either. I'm often surprised they release new features like this that clearly have broken functionality. I can understand they sometimes want to get something out early to get feedback and ideas – which is fine – but why put it out there when you KNOW something is broken? They should fix known issues first, then release it and get user feedback about enhancements, changes, etc.
