Support import/export SVG, SVGZ format - Improve print dialog - Improve unit setting - Add more default shapes (circle, triangle, polygon, star.) - Add more arrow types (Dot, Architectural tick, Oblique, Origin indicator.) - Add decimal precision setting (0.00 or 0.000. FoamerAce, UPDATE they broke this app I want hobbiest CAD. I want to make simple mechanical drawings for stuff I can build in the garage/basement.

Drafting Software For Mac

Going from no CAD to SimpleCAD is like being unchained from the cave. I may well outgrow this stripped down package, but for now it’s doing me super. On the first day, I created drawings for a project with the front view on one layer, the dimentions on another, and a few other layers for oblique projections, hardware, and whatnot.

It was a struggle at first, but I’ve gotten pretty zippy with it in just a couple days. The only real problem I have with it, is the help isn’t as helpful as it could be. It’s a.pdf file and I believe it was translated from another language. It’s not a bad translation compared to some I’ve encountered, but it does sometimes lack for clarity.

Still, there was nothing I couldn’t figure out by playing with it for a bit. UPDATE They broke this App. In the previous version you could set the size of a rectangle in the left text boxes.

Those boxes are now gone and new 'Size & Position' boxes are located to the right of the drawing. But they don't work. You can't simply specify a rectangle be 3x5.

Pccdrski, SimpleCAD Simple??! Yeah.simple if you’ve had a year of AutoCAD at University. Entering x,y coordinates without zero datum info in a LARGE BOX at the top of the Menu is as looking for your tie in a closet with the door closed and the light out.

No list of shapes and lines to initially enter position and THEN enter exact location. Protocol to even attempt to use this programs logic is hidden and Help is on the order of “Entry is like other CAD systems”. I graduated Summa w/BSME and Annual award for Drafting Excellence ( back in the day of board and T-square admittedly ) and have a Patent for a design that I had ready to go in my head within 20 seconds. Can’t scan 20 x 20in drawings now and need a program to show ideas to investors. This ain’t it. Pccdrski, SimpleCAD Simple??! Yeah.simple if you’ve had a year of AutoCAD at University.
