Morpholio Trace - Sketch CAD

This app seems good in many ways, despite some minor interface niggles. It has a strep learning curve, which reflects the fact that it is pretty feature rich, and the help section and videos are quite good. My main issue with it is that unlike Floorplans (which I loved despite its glitchiness because it did exactly what I wanted really well, but which has been removed from the App Store) Trace doesn’t ‘do’ cloud. So when I pick up my larger iPad (I travel with a smaller one) or my phone, my projects have not made it over to the other devices via the cloud. You can export them and email them or airdrop them, but then you have version control issues. So I’m afraid for me, good thought it is, this one massive lacking feature is likely to count it out. Pity. But in addition, they need to allow layers to be locked together in groups and to be flattened in groups. And the copy and paste functionality is bewildering.

I really don’t know how we managed before Morpholio. This excellent, easy to use app is now the first step in every new design we do at Charles Butler Gardens.

I have been using Trace since it was launched. I use it for architectural sketches and product design. I have found it the most comprehensive of the architectural drawing apps many of which are over complicated. Trace is simple yet powerful enabling you to create what you want in a manner that reflects the cad experience. I have been very happy with it. Thanks Trace

Makes planning my various projects so much easier.

really bad I can not log in anymore or use the iPhone app or iPad with Apple ID, paid fully for pro version. Not very happy. never seen this before on any software. Fully paid up until may 2025 and can not use it.

I love this app - just don’t know how to use it ,do you need a special pen for use on tablet - my fingers are too sausage like to make nice straight lines when needed.I need slower instructions video - too quick for my slow brain . I need more advice a from architects who have used same ,overall I love it . Regards Ken

Morpholio trace is a great app just what was needed to bring design and architectural drawing into the 21st. Works great for doodling and for more precise creations. Just needs some new updates say for pre formed sheets with title blocks and logos, otherwise great. Keep it up.

Currently studying Architecture at university and this app has transformed my workflow. I am not very good at hand sketching so using this app has made my sketches in my portfolio worthy and has allowed me to add life and colour to my cad drawings. It has every feature you would want and more. Recommend to anyone studying any design course who is looking for an app to aid them in their work.

Keeps getting better. Thank you

Clients LOVE Architects hand drawings, but this sellable ‘magic’ gets lost in a world of CAD. Trace Pro has enabled me to exploit this skill again, but direct to the digital realm and in a sustainable way, cutting out paper, copier and scanner. I import pdfs of CAD drawings for mark-up and overlays and sketch over photos with perspective support. I’ve had the Pro version for 18 months but I’m still just scratching the surface of its capability. When I found something it couldn’t do I emailed and Support replied instantly- the functionality was already built in- I just didn’t know where to find it. They are adding a user guide for that now. Support like that is rare these days. It’s worth every penny, not comparing apples and apples, but a fraction of what we pay for our CAD license. Andy L. Architect. UK
