App Description

"FingerCAD WS" is the iOS6 version of FingerCAD, the CAD application for technical drawing with fingers assisted by computer. With "FingerCAD WS" you can draw houses, bridges, floor plans, mechanical components, geometrical figures, anything that can be designed with a common PC CAD. Useful for engineers in construction site, architects, surveyors, designers, students, etc.. The design possibilities with "FingerCAD WS" are endless and all this using your mobile device comfortably seated or standing. The ease of use makes it "FingerCAD WS" very useful and versatile. The final project can be saved in the portable device using standard formats (e.g. .DXF, .PDF, .OBJ 2D and 3D), sent via e-mail, shared using modern cloud systems or printed. The zooming and panning, the customization of the design, the common CAD tools, the possibility of including measures and free text, auto-save and the ability to continue operations even in subsequent sessions of use (at boot "FingerCAD WS " will automatically load the project saved in the previous session of use), etc ... make it truly unique. Using the "time machine" feature you can go back in time, removing objects from last to first (also in subsequent sessions of work). The UNDO and REDO functions will help you to restore the previous state if You commit unwanted errors, the editing functions (scale, rotate, move, copy, mirror, select, delete selection, transform, move the control points by dragging a finger across the screen , etc ...) will help you to modify existing designs or model them with your fingers. The "automatic acquisition of the closest snap points" will facilitate the drawing of adjacent graphics objects and the function "2x-wall" will allow the automatic design of walls (double line with desired thickness). You can draw the objects using different colors (using the infinite available colors selectable with the color palettes, the color picker or the three RGB components) or fill the surfaces with a color (color filling). The transparency (alpha) allows You to draw semi-transparent objects (infinite intensity of transparency selectable). Using the tool "freehand drawing" you can add freehand drawings to the technical design (such as ornamental plants, etc ...). Also, it is available a large collection of DXF objects for use with "FingerCAD WS" that can be imported into your CAD projects ("FingerCAD WS" is compatible with the existing common DXF objects libraries).

Features:
- MULTI LAYERS DESIGN
- MULTI FLOORS DESIGN (layers at different heights)
- Preview of the other layers in the current layer
- SELECT, COPY, MOVE objects (also from a layer to another layer)
- High precision design "dynamic preview of the design under the fingers with a magnifying glass"
- Export using the format .OBJ 2D and 3D: upload your CAD drawings into 3D modeling software such as Blender, Maya 3D, Finger3D, etc. ...
- Export / import of DXF files to / from AutoCAD, QCad, SolidWorks, etc...
- Export the drawing as PDF
- Conversion of file formats and sharing (email attachments):
    1) from DXF OBJ
    2) from DXF to PDF
    3) from DXF to IMAGE (JPG, PNG)
- Ability to import .DXF files from a WEB LINK and from an e-mail attachment
- File sharing (IN and OUT) with Dropbox, cloud sharing systems
- "FingerCAD WS 3D VIEWER" to display the 3D model of your project
- Ability to print the drawing (AirPrint)
- Adjustable grid with adjustable grid snap points (it can also be used during the editing)
- Many types of automatic snap points on the CAD objects
- Size (with selectable units of measure)
- POLY LINE to draw objects linked together
- Extend
- Trim
- DXF part library
- Full screen drawing
- High-definition (HD) 3D rendering
- Draw on a photo (you can also enter the measurements on an photographed object)

With "FingerCAD WS" You will forget the PC CAD.
