When using shapr on MacBook Pro, I can select lines without worrying about drawing a line, whereas on iPad Pro drawing tools are always selected, there should be a select tool to edit sketch. Is a file system coming soon (save to iCloud not export)

Can you elaborate on this? I’m not sure I correctly understand what you mean.

Sync and Backup are coming very soon!

After selecting sketch, the line tool is selected by default. Would like the default be a select tool, for dimensioning and constraining. Dimension tool would be nice.

Got it! Strictly speaking there isn’t a “dimensioning mode” in Shapr3D. You simply need to select sketches that you’d like to dimension. You can do that immediately. Does this make sense?

Yes, still like the Mac version, can dimension and constrain and no drawing tool is selected.  
By the way, Shapr3d is by far the best 3d cad software I use and I have used Fusion 360 (5yrs) Sketchup Pro (14 yrs)
