I haven’t used shapr3d for a few months and it looks like they made a change. I draw using my iPad and pencil. I have to use imperial so I input dimensions using fractions. But the input method has changed, the keypad no longer has the fractions input. I found i can input by the screen keyboard but …

Hi There have been a lot of remarks about fractional input issues and Imperial unit working, since the update. Don’t be surprised if there is a fix to the widget in the coming weeks

The whole point of having something so elegant on the iPad is I just pick it up and start working, immediately get into the head space. An…

Good luck finding one that runs on an iPad.

I see the video you did thanks. But how did you get the / mark? Are you using a key board? It’s not on the virtual keypad. If I use the iPad virtual key board I can do it however I have to switch from pen, then hit shift9, 78 inches, space, shift+, space, 1/8 (which the iPad wants to condense to ⅛ …
