I am quite fond of the fact that I have not to add constraints but can adjust length and angle in a sketch. This is quite convenient for better drafting. drawing a line 1.5 mm and then 90 degree from an edge can help m…

I really like this app. The workflow is very fluid and rather 3D sketch like than cad engineering. I am very exited to see where this will go to. The Autodesk iOS apps are a let down. This app is amazing. Specific…

not sure if it is MOI's issue but the step import has filled faces with the follow area while in ALIAS it is as it should be.\[image\]\[image\]

1 mm works 1.5 mm does not work. The issue seems for me to be self intersecting surfaces killing the shelling. Does the shelling command trim itself? \[image\] Also in MOI 1.5 dies while 1mm works. Fusion360 just charm…

Does the app have the ability to offset to the outside so you grow you part? I can only figure out how to offset inwards shrinking the line / curve

Hi all, I really like the inclusion of ortho views, or course. :slight\_smile: I am not sure if its just my workflow, but here are some issues I have with them: 1) Double tap a face -- If I specifically want a top/bot…

Having the copy and past feature is really a huge plus. This makes a lot of things a lot easier. So I gave it a try right away and it is working, but I have some graphical artefacts - see Screenshot. \[image\]

Just downloaded new version, oddly the nav arrows in top left aren't nearby as smooth anymore. They do a lot of popping and jitteriness while I'm rotating around the objects. \[image\]

Just noticing an issue with the chamfer tool causing app to crash. See pic below. Have successfully chamfered most of the edges. When I attempt to chamfer the remaining edges, the app crashes. Can't work out whether …

Not sure if it is just me, but have had a couple of occasions when the offset tool has crashed the app (having said that app crashes are not a major problem - when I re launch app I don't seem to have lost anything - unl…

Hi there. I noticed that when I made the model of the kubelwagon I had zoomed right in on the grid when I started and as a result have a very small model! Not a major problem but at this scale some of the tools do not …

I really been digging the app, but how do you guys handle making revisions on things? Since there is no inherent 2d shaped that are being saved, how do you say go back and change the length or size of a part of an objec…

</div>

I would like to be able to chamfer an edge at less than 0.1 on any object. On larger objects this is no problem - see pic below - object on the left. I drag out a chamfer - initially goes to 0.1 and then I type in 0.05…

Looks like the draw order for the move/rotate tool is not drawing in 3D. I have a tough time selecting the right manipulator sometimes. See image (red move tool and blue rotate tool are cruelly reversed in distance to…

Undo/redo has some unintended consequences. Some actions are stored some are not. Sometimes I've had undo delete an object. It would be awesome if this was rock solid. It would help me be a little more bold if I knew…
