EazyDraw provides professional level of support for layers. Independent layers are often required for more complex technical drawings. In the Measuring tape mode, one may option-drag to interactively measure distances on the drawing, just as one would do on a job site. The Tape tool (top right of the palette) is very useful for technical drawings, it understands the drawing's scale and can be used as a floating cursor, an interactive inspector for graphic positions and sizes, and a very useful on-screen Tape Measure. This is a group of general purpose tools such as the normal selection arrow tool. The Primary Tool palette is shown on the left, the long palette. Click the small blue disclosure triangle to return the palette to its normal state. Mini palettes are fully user configurable, just drag and drop the label element to re-arrange, add, or remove an element of the palette. The most commonly used palettes have a "mini" mode which helps conserve valuable screen real estate. The Color and Style palette is miniaturized. This capability has many useful purposes, for example including an elevation with a architectural drawing.

This detail was drawn on a separate layer, and to a different scale EazyDraw allows scaled drawings and there may be different scales assigned to individual layers. The photorealistic inset showing a 3D rendition was drawn fully with EazyDraw, using some of the illustration drawing capabilities of the application. Or modernize the look of your drawings, all the capability of our Annotated Text formatting are available to dimensions, rotated text, any font/style/color, contour typeset layout, background color, any arrow style. Use the Comment Dimension (lower right on tool set) to report relevant parametric data (radius, length, perimeter, center, slope. Set the decimal precision, or chose fraction representation, show units/abbreviations or not, even add your own text to either side of the reported dimension.

Check out the screen shot for the Measuring Tape for an example of a map drawn to scale.įully control the style and content of each dimension. When applying a scale change, you may elect to scale just the drawing or scale all graphics (maintaining their physical dimensions) and the drawing. When objects are to or from drawings or layers with different scales, the "physical" size of the graphic is correctly maintained. Each layer may have its own drawing scale allowing detail views and showing "plan" and "elevation" on the same drawing. And if you need to change the scale of drawing in progress - all objects are redrawn at their "physical" size, a feature not common to popular priced CAD drawing packages. Select units (cm, mm, inches, points, miles.) and Scale (1:1, 1/4", 2". Some of the tools, such as the walls and ribbons (lower portion of this tool palette) are useful for general illustration effects, and detail maps. These are tools that are commonly used for dimensioned drawings such as architectural or mechanical drawings. The Technical Tools palette provides auto dimensioning tools, walls and ribbons, connectors and the auto-line tools.

Easily create drawings with full dimensions as are shown on the sample drawing of the familiar hand held Apple product. Connectors attach to other graphics at precise (1/4, 1/2, etc) locations. Other tools are for drawing orthogonal paths, which may have square, rounded, or 45 deg. It includes an old favorite, the Auto-line, a simple line with its length shown in a dimension format. This is a tool set for technical drawing.
