What is FingerCAD?
FingerCAD is a CAD application for technical drawing with fingers assisted by computer for portable devices. It is useful for engineers on construction sites, architects, surveyors, designers, students, etc. The app allows users to draw houses, bridges, planimetry of apartments, mechanical components, geometrical figures, and everything that can be designed with a common PC CAD. The design possibilities with FingerCAD are endless, and all this can be done using only a portable device, during travel or comfortably seated or standing at work. The app is easy to use, versatile, and allows users to save their final design using standard formats (ex. DXF) and send it via e-mail or print.
1. The zoom and pan, the customization of the drawing, the common cad tools, autosaving and the ability to continue operations even in subsequent sessions of use (at boot "FingerCAD" will load automatically the design saved in the previous session of use), possibility to add measurements and free text makes it truly unique.
2. The three RGB components, alpha transparency, the freehand drawing, the ability to fill an object with colors, the color palette, the color picker, in addition to the common functions of a CAD give you the ability to add manual graphical effects at the overall design (also using freehand drawing).
3. Useful for the engineers on construction site, for architects, surveyors, designers, students etc.. The design possibilities with "FingerCAD" are endless and all this using only your portable device, during a travel or comfortably seated or standing at work.
4. HIGH PRECISION OF DRAWING: using the “under finger dynamic drawing preview “ you can see exactly where for example the initial / final point of a line will be placed (observing the preview window that shows the area of drawing not visible under the finger).
5. The "automatic acquisition of nearest vertices" facilitates the drawing of adjacent graphics objects and the function "2x" allows you to draw walls (double line) automatically (you can specify the thickness of the wall as desired).
6. AUTO-PAN for work area: if you reach the border of the screen, FingerCAD shifts automatically the work area so you can continue to draw longest lines - you have not to use the "zoom out" to draw long lines.
7. Each CAD object is treated as a separate object; You can then go back in time by removing the objects from last to first (also in next sessions of work), select and remove the undesired parts / incorrect objects.
8. "FingerCAD" is the first CAD application for technical drawing with fingers assisted by computer for portable devices.
9. With "FingerCAD" you can draw houses, bridges, planimetry of apartments, mechanical components, geometrical figures, everything that can be designed with a common PC CAD.
10. Virtual Reality Exploration: you can walk in the 3D model and observe it using first person view (Finger3D + FingerCAD).
11. The final design can be saved using standard formats (ex.

Still looking for functional iPhone 3d cad
Useless and not intuitive
Useful but needs more
Needs work.
