In Draw you can save a drawing only in .odg .otg and .fodg. Compare to other LibreOffice apps, there is no save as option to some file formats that are useful outside LibreOffice. As Draw and Impress share a lot of it's codebase, would it be possible to save drawing as .odp, .ppt, ... So it would be possible to open LibreOffice draw files outside LibreOffice for example with Powerpoint.
This would not be correct. What would the use case be to save from Draw canvas to a different ODF archive format? Export to vector or raster formats is appropriate and well supported. But an ODF Drawing has limited applicability/support with our ODF Presentation editor 'Impress'--apples and oranges. And, while filters could be written to save from Draw canvas into other external formats--the most functional remain our supported export formats. -1

You can open an .odg file in Impress and save it to a PowerPoint compatible format there. The filter is in the drop-down list in the Open-dialog. Look for "ODF Drawing (Impress)(*.odg)". It is the next one after "ODF Presentation Template".
Taking Regina's solution as the supposed workflow => NAB.
Thanks for feedback. maybe we should give our users the message if someone didn't know how it work, wrote a bug report. However I'm fine with NAB. I didn't get the workaround from Regina working.

That is not what I have proposed and it is quite different, because you get an OLE object. If the regular "open" does not work (why not?), an alternative is this: Set the slide size to the same width and height as used in the Draw-document. Then use menu Slide > Insert Slide from File.
