FingerCAD

FingerCAD / FingerCAD HD is the first CAD application for technical drawing with fingers assisted by computer for portable devices. With "FingerCAD" you can draw houses, bridges, planimetry of apartments, mechanical components, geometrical figures, everything that can be designed with a common PC CAD. 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. The ease of use makes it very useful and versatile. The final design can be saved using standard formats (ex. DXF) and can be sent via e-mail or printed. 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. 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. 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). 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).

MODIFY, COPY AND MOVE for CAD objects (also from one layer to another one).

AUTOMATIC CALCULATION OF THE MEASUREMENT OF THE AREA OF A GENERIC POLYGONAL 3D SURFACE.

Virtual Reality Exploration: you can walk in the 3D model and observe it using first person view (Finger3D (HD) + FingerCAD (HD)).

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).

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.

.OBJ 2D and 3D export routine: export the CAD design for 3D modeling softwares such as Finger3D (HD), Blender, Maya 3D, etc... or print it using 3D printers

DXF export/import for AutoCad, qCad, SolidWorks, etc...

PDF export.

File formats conversions:
- from DXF to OBJ
- from DXF to PDF
- from DXF to IMAGE (JPG,PNG)

3D models can be displayed directly using the "FingerCAD 3D VIEWER".

DROPBOX / iCloud Drive file sharing (IN and OUT)

Ability to import DXF files from a WEB LINK and/or from an EMAIL ATTACHMENT.

- select another layer (ex. layer 2)
- set the "FLOOR#" as 2 for the layer 2
- click on "PREVIOUS LAYER" button to display "layer 1" in "layer 2"
- select all the objects of "layer 1"
- set "COPY DISTANCE" as 0
- copy on layer 2 (the "layer 1" will be copied on layer 2 at the floor number 2 - at the "HEIGHT" of the floor number 2)
- repeat the steps for all the building floors (layers)
- select "LAYERS: ALL"
- use "FingerCAD 3D Viewer" to render the building
- to render only one building floor select the desidered layer and render it with "FingerCAD 3D Viewer"

* New selection procedure ("multiple selection rectangle" and "selective tap selection"):
- "multiple selection rectangle": draw multiple selection rectangles to select more objects
- "selective tap selection": tap an object to select or deselect the touched object; if multiple objects exist in the touched position repeat the tap action to select the second or third or fourth (etc...) object in the position of touch
- the selected objects remain selected during editing: copy, move, scale, rotate, mirror, mirror a copy (until user do not deselects the selected objects using  "selective tap selection")
- when "SELECTION RECTANGLE" tool will be disabled ("SELECTION RECTANGLE: OFF") all the selected objects will be automatically unselected (use this to deselect all the objects)
* "LINE: SNAPS TO THE NEAREST CONTROL POINT" tool has now MEMORY of the object's acquired snap point:
- it remembers the X position of the snap point if after acquired an object's snap point, the user dragging the finger vertically on the screen (until a certain horizontal distance)
- it remembers the Y position of the snap point if after acquired an object's snap point, the user dragging the finger horizontally on the screen (until a certain vertical distance)
* SNAP TO THE NEAREST CONTROL POINT also for ARC tool
* GESTURE RECOGNIZER for ZOOM and PAN:
- ZOOM IN/OUT with pinch gesture
- PAN dragging 2 fingers on the screen

* 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)
