iPocket Draw is a vector drawing program comprehensive (CAD 2D), which offers to you total control over your drawing.
Of course all the simple drawing tools are available: line, rectangle, oval, arc, polygon, text.
But also tools of free line with vectorization option (recognition of simple shapes), spline, regular polygon.
All attributes of each object can be edited and changed: line color, line thickness, background color, dotted, arrow, font ...
But also the coordinates of each object because iPocket Draw lets you draw with a scale chosen and modified.
iPocket Draw also has a cotation tool simple and multiple.
And functions of attraction powerful and accurate on the ends of objects but also the centers and on the intersections between all object types.
The drawing area is not limited.
The number of objects either.
The zoom in and out either.
The number of undo either.
You can draw on several layers and create configurations of layers.
You have an object library that you can complete as you want.
A comprehensive menu command allows you to: select all, copy, cut, paste, group, ungroup, lock, unlock, duplicate, move, mirror horizontally or vertically, rotate, align, distribute, create parallel, divide, change the scale, converting in lines, polygon, send back, put in front of.
You can insert photos or images or pdf files in your drawings.
iPocket Draw has a file manager from which you can send your drawings by e-mail format iPocket Draw (RealCADD) or DXF or pdf or jpg image.
But also to export in a photo album.
And also print.

Because we are not afraid of your judgments, you can try iPocket Draw with the Lite version which includes only a limitation on the number of objects (50) by drawing.

If you have problems, please contact us by mail (see information window of iPocket Draw: i button).

Thanks.

Pros and cons of iPocket Draw app for iPhone and iPad

iPocket Draw app good for

Finally a simple engineering drawing/ drafting app. This is hard to find for a PC or a Mac let alone the iPhone and IPad..
Great app, does more than I expected. I needed a simple CAD for renovation and installation projects that I could use on site. I tried the lite version and within an hour of learning the tool had the first project done. I immediately bought the full version. An issue transferring files by e-mail was resolved by Eric within a couple of hours and on a Saturday to boot. Impressive, to say the least. For more complex projects I intend to buy the Win/Mac version of RealCAD with full file compatibility with iPocket Draw. This app is worth every penny. Anyone expecting more for the price should get a reality check. It is a CAD on an iPhone for under $20. A real steal and a feat to have such a comfortable and powerful UI on a tiny screen.
This is the best 2D CAD program out of several available for IPad. Although it has only the basic functions, it works well and does not have lag. Although the app can benefit from a better help or user guide, because of its simplicity it does not take long to figure out how it works.
Very beauty app for vector drawing. Test all of them, this is the best. Author reply and work :). Попробовал много рисовалок. Эта - лучшая. Автор реагирует на просьбы, добавляет возможности.

Some bad moments

During the last update (done June 4th 2014) our program completely bugged out we cannot create a new layer without the progam closing out. Very disatisfying and unless the bug is fixed we will be deleting and not recomending to others in our field of work
A great start for a vector based app on such a small device. Has the basic tools and together with the zoom allows for some pretty decent stuff to be done. I use it for basic flow charting and simple screen layout/design. The following features would take it to the next level (for me) - group selection of objects - bring to front / move to back - undo - copy & paste - snap to grid despite the list, Im still very impressed with this app and able to make very good use of it. Looking forward to the updates.
Great start Full version needs: Send as jpg or pdf DXF and CAD files are useless for sharing with most people Bought it in spite of this flaw just to be able to save Tried CAD email and it doesnt work intuitively Waiting for sending upgrades
I downloaded this app. in hopes that I could quickly draw up some field details and shoot them back to the office. Unfortunatly we followed the steps in changing the file to .dxf so we could open it in cad and all we got was invaled file. We repeated the steps several times with no luck. It would be great if the fill tool had a diagonal line fill to show a solid structure. Cool app wish I could get it to work. Needs a little work but great concept.
For an only offering of its kind, this program is really quite good. It will be interesting to see just how may features the author will be able to put into such a small package. Dont expect to draw large complicated presentations with it, but it is a good place to put your thoughts down in vector form. Another reviewer had problems exporting the drawing to .dxf; I was able to import a file into Vectorworks. Not the easiest, but it did work and I was able to take some germinal ideas and expand them.
The only app I have deleted - actually twice deleted, then downloaded again just to see if the first was defective - but unfortunately no - the entire app is quite disappointing. I losr count of the number of times the program crashed entirely when attempting to edit the last item on the screen. Could not save. And if I moved the figure, only one piece of it moved - text and other elements stayed. When I went to the support site - nothing but luscious pics of screens - no where/way to enter a query. Glad to be rid of it.
