* Fixed scaling problem when exporting PDFs with very small lines.
* Fixed JPG export error
This app has allowed me to design a house in basic format but it is not easy to make minor changes. The ‘help’ article is not very explicit on how to use many of the functions. That said I think it is worth persevering with but would like to know what extra functions you get for the paid version before going down that route. Is it just access to the other 8 layers and the ability to save in more formats? Can you save more than one version with the paid app? I tried renaming my plan to save a different version but only the latest save could be downloaded, the first named one had disappeared. If the ability to save multiple plans is part of the paid version I would get it. Developer, please can you clarify these points?
