FingerCAD WS is the iOS 6 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" (under finger preview window with magnifier)
- AutoPan: if you reach the edge of the screen, "FingerCAD WS" will automatically move to the work area, and in this way you will be able to draw long lines without having to use the "zoom out"
- ZOOM pinching the screen with two fingers
- PAN dragging two fingers on the screen
- 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 (to simplify your design; 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
- Full screen drawing
- Dynamics labels (they show the status and the positions of the object you are drawing)
- Curves drawing using "control points"
- High-definition (HD) 3D rendering
- Draw on a photo (you can also enter the measurements on an photographed object)
… and many other features ...

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

Updates:

Version Number: 2.1
* Ability to share the native FingerCAD project files with other devices (like for example from the iPad/iPad Mini to the iPhone/iTouch or from an iPad/iPad Mini to another iPad/iPad Mini), with other installed apps or with dropbox (.fcad files contains 2D and 3D objects data, objects colors, objects transparency data, objects styles, etc…, all You can see in the FingerCAD project workspace 2D and 3D)
* Ability to send with an email the native FingerCAD project files (.fcad files)
* Ability to import .fcad files from dropbox, from email attachments, from web links or from other installed apps (like for example "megaDownloader Web Browser (HD)" app, etc…)
* New "send projects with an email" interface
* Better routines  for DXF import (it allows now to import bigger DXF files)
* Added the EXTEND tool (EDIT -> EXTEND) to extend a line to another line (touch a line1 control point and raise the finger from the screen: the line1 will be extended to the nearest line2 intersection point)
* Added some help images for the 3d objects design settings
* Added the dynamic label "line angle" respect to the X axis, visualized during the line construction
* Minor bugs fixed

Version Number: 2.3
* Added the TRIM tool (EDIT -> TRIM) to trim:
- a line to another line (touch a line1 control point and raise the finger from the screen: the line1 will be trimmed to the nearest line2 intersection point)
- a line to an ARC (touch a line control point and raise the finger from the screen: the line will be trimmed to the nearest arc intersection point)
- a line to a CIRCLE (touch a line control point and raise the finger from the screen: the line will be trimmed to the nearest circle intersection point)
- a line to a RECT (touch a line control point and raise the finger from the screen: the line will be trimmed to the nearest rect intersection point)
* Added the EXTEND tool (EDIT -> EXTEND) to extend:
- a line to another line (touch a line1 control point and raise the finger from the screen: the line1 will be extended to the nearest line2 intersection point)
- a line to an ARC (touch a line control point and raise the finger from the screen: the line will be extended to the nearest arc intersection point)
- a line to a CIRCLE (touch a line control point and raise the finger from the screen: the line will be extended to the nearest circle intersection point)
- a line to a RECT (touch a line control point and raise the finger from the screen: the line will be extended to the nearest rect intersection point)
* Library of dxf objects (architecture, communication, electrical, electronics, mechanical, misc, processing, templates, zipf_libs) with a new multilevel folders DXF Archive manager. You can now:
- download the dxf objects part library using the download button
- unzip the downloaded part library
- browse the dxf objects of the part library (with dxf object preview)
- import and merge the dxf objects of the part library with the current cad project
- add Your personal dxf objects library and manage it with the dxf archive
- unzip generic dxf library (using multilevel folders)

Version Number: 2.4
* Minor bugs fixed for:
- multilayers design "edit" routines
- multilayers design "selective tap selection" routines

Version Number: 2.5
* Added the ability to import external .dxf objects libraries (stored in a .zip archive file format) using "Open In" or "iTunes File Sharing":
- from the web (for example using Safari or megaDownloader Web Browser)
- from a mail attachment (using Mail)
- from dropbox
All the imported dxf objects libraries will be saved in the FingerCAD "dxf Archive" and can be used in Your CAD projects.
* Minor bugs fixed
