NJ Fencing by Carl’s

This app is very beneficial for a fencing project consultant like myself- one of the few apps I pay for that increase my earnings

Unparalleled tools, but... raster?

this Whole city

This is the only app to get anywhere near the experience of using a drawing compass. Their ellipse tool actually gives you a center point, and that is shockingly difficult to find in drawing apps! The perspective tools are fantastic as well. I’ve really enjoyed using this to draft geometry-based art. I’m less in love with the fact that it’s raster based. Make this thing vector, and it would really lock it in. At the least, it needs some kind of resolution management so if I want to make something printable, I can tell when things are the right size that it won’t come out pixilated.

Ok, but needs work

This is a decent drawing program, but a few items need improvement. One should really be able to lock the orientation of drawings, rather than having to constantly guard against rotating sheets. The translation “lock” doesn’t work for me. There needs to be a French curve, and the ability to “snap” to a nearby line.

Good but.....

I like it but can you please make more things free?

A tease

Unable to do anything unless you pay, literally it shows u everything it can do giving u the idea u can do it all but the only thing you can do is DRAW. NOT EVEN A RULER might as well just use the apple notes app. I bet the payed version would be good but at least a demo to try it out before I spend 20 dollars

Has Potential but Thin Lines are Pixelated

Cape_0live

App has some great potential however thin lines look pixelated, and I used a lot of sketching apps and haven’t noticed this issue in any other app/software. It’s a big turn off for me, so I cancelled my premium membership.

I was so excited...???????

First of all it looks like a legit app. And also when you first log on. But really annoyed me was that everything COSTS MONEY!! When ever I try to use something,money. ITS SO REDICLEOUS!!!

A scam

This is the worst app. Everything is an in app purchases and nothing can be completed without paying. Waste of money.

Unit trace

Arya?

Trace is the best thing for me and my sister, we love to draw and tech, so trace is as I said the best app.

Great app for concepts in the field!

No, it’s not “real” CAD: it’s raster based, for one thing. But then, this isn’t something I use for production. I create base plans with a laser and another iPad app, then import this as a base plan into Trace. From there, it’s like using trace paper: sketch out concepts, refine, illustrate, label and export. Plus there’s a nifty perspective drawing tool that you can use over a site photo. At the end, the client gets an annotated PDF file, ready for comments (or a file I can combine into a notebook). There’s also an AR projection of your design: frame a view, snap a photo and your horizontal ground plane perspective is set up. Why four stars? - The export function could use some form of layer sets to export plan and sketches without having to go back and turn off/on layers. - The number of layers is limited, and using the text tool adds a lot of layers, quickly reaching the limit. Each paragraph usually has its own layer - lots of callouts = layer overflow. - Text can’t be parametrically sized: you size it visually by pinching and zooming - so making all your notes the same point size is challenging, to the point where I avoid the text tool entirely. - Imported images can have transparency, but layers you create can’t, although they can have blending modes. So once a layer is drawn, you can’t globally lighten or darken it. - There’s no center point on the circle tool, so marking or finding a constant center can be challenging (you can create a stencil as a workaround). - As far as I know, you can’t control page layout, and sometimes the app gets it wrong: vertical plan in horizontal layout with too much blank space on the page. There are workarounds, but it would be wonderful if these things were built-in. You can’t crop base images to control document aspect ratio, unless you set it up in another app. - Controlling the AR viewpoint on a site is a great idea, but often does what it wants instead of what I want, kinda more art than science. Your station point doesn’t seem to be adjustable when in AR view, only in plan so fine adjustments are difficult.
