jackamus Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 As an old DrawPlus user I liked doing woking drawings showing dimension lines, dimensions and scales. This would be a great tool for Affinity. Raskolnikov 1 Quote If voting made any difference it wouldn't be allowed! Rules are for the guidance of wise men and the obedience of fools.

klownshed Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 +1 iDraw (and TouchDraw) has a fair old stab at this, but if scale and dimensions are ever included, they need to be a little more CAD like IMHO; Click-click drawing option (rather than click drag) and dimensions with leader lines for a start. Affinity Deisgn could be the 2D CAD app of choice on the Mac if they wanted to be. The entry level (<£1000+ for VectorWorks) market is ripe for exploiting, although I'm not sure of the numbers. The only app I can find that's half decent for less than VectorWorks is HighDesign and that's so clunky compare to AD, it's not even funny. Other apps such as MacDraft are really showing their age. A few CAD like features (comparable to the cad tools plug-in available for Illustrator, only good) would mop up the technical drawing requirements for people like me that don't need AutoCAD and VectorWorks has become far too expensive. The 'personas' aspect of AD could keep the tools out of the way until needed so as not to clutter up things for 'normal' use. I'd also be happy to have CAD tools as an in-app purchase. And besides, if iDraw/TouchDraw can do it (albeit not quite well enough for CAD)... ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
