Nice work.

I'm using both as well. I used to have a problem with groups in DWG to SkUp, but that problem went away with the current versions.

What I wish for in the connection between the programs is for filled polygons to go across and with their colors intact. As it is now DWG turns PC drawing into a bunch of lines, and you have to trace off at least one edge in SkUp to get surfaces back again. DWG back is the same story, so PDF is the only way to get color rendering. Having not done it a few weeks, my memory is a little foggy, but there are two ways to create the PDF in SkUp and one ends up rasterized and the other vectorized.

BTW, @Last liked a user story I sent them enough to put it in their newsletter (Jan 30) and put the example on their site.
