I like the app, but it could be better. – Morpholio Trace - Sketch CAD Review
I am a project manager and estimator for a masonry company. I like this app for a lot of reasons and will most likely keep the subscription after the free trial.
I am using the app with a iPad Pro and Apple Pencil.
I use it for hand written math notes when I do takeoffs and estimates at my desk instead of scrap paper. I then export the notes as a pdf and save them in the job file.
I use it for sketching.
I use it in the field to take pictures and make notes so when I get back to the office I can create a work order for a field guy or estimate a job.
It would be awesome to see the following changes.
I would like to see when you open a blank project, an infinite amount of drawing space is shown on the first layer so things can be sketched full size with the ruler. I don’t like that you need to pick your scale in the beginning. Let me choose that when I export.
I also think you should be able to change the ruler scale at any time. It should always start 1’ = 1’. But when you click the ruler setting you should be able to change it to whatever you what without effecting the drawing or page size.
If I am taking photos using the app from the field and marking them up as I go with notes, I need a place to retrieve the clean camera jpeg images so I can use them in a proposal when I go back to the office.
When you are in a project, there is a button with two little squared that brings you to a screen where you can see all the pages in a document. First, that screen should go right to the view with all the little documents. Second, when you click edit, there is a button to add another page, you should be able to pick a template for that page that’s being added.
Last when you start a new project, you should be able to select a custom template of your own from the quick select.
