I love how clearly you explain everything. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. They’re very helpful.

I'm really Thankful because I found every one of my questions before I ask, from your tutorials such as which render engine is suitable for me and how to use layout.

I export a basic layout drawing set to Morpholio Trace on my iPad, I do all the lightweights and hatching in there. Far faster. I as all my text tags in trace as well. The basic accurate to the mm model drawing is faster to do in sketchup and layout. I also have master text sheets in word, copy & paste text from work into layout or Morpholio trace. Work better.

2 separate programs, one for 3D, the other for 2D, this has not been solved for 20 years as I remember, synchronization is sometimes sometimes non-existent, that's the end of this topic...
