I didn’t know about the 4-Finger tap or the 3-Finger swipe either horizontally or vertically and I use SU for iPad every day. That’s why these videos are so valuable. Thanks.

Nice video A. I love all gestures! A nice add would be the ability to tap and hold with non dominant finger while drawing geometry to lock an inference direction, similar to the shift modifier key on desktop. But Mike knows about this request😊.

Thanks. considering to get an iPad for working on trips.
Pinch to zoom is obviously all in there with how the UI works across the iPad. In a drawing application maybe one would want an additional way, even if it´s not so intuitive, to zoom, because pinching really puts a strain on your fingers in the long run if you were to use the iPad for drawing all day long. For shorter runs it's great, of course, because it's so obvious.

Aaron! Every time you throw a pencil... my soul.... my poor soul.

Hi Aaron, thanks for the video, do you know if these gestures (or something similar) will be implemented in the pro version for use on windows touch screens? I use a MS Surface book for a lot of my modelling and using touch screen gestures when in tablet mode would be very useful.
