I agree with Vis, you<br />need a donate buttom for a program<br />as cool as this.<br />Don't know if this is appropriate or not but I found that adding a<br />fill (light green or such) to the<br />entire window made the gridwork<br />stand out rather well. Again, thanks a lot from a true novice in<br />this kind of work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-551630081270938526.post-71054259652782846642009-12-12T19:38:29.770+00:002009-12-12T19:38:29.770+00:00Спасибо за программу.Спасибо за программу.leonid251058https://www.blogger.com/profile/08691648452254299323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-551630081270938526.post-55706114080723585312009-11-21T19:36:27.057+00:002009-11-21T19:36:27.057+00:00Hello, Peter!

I do some structural design work in my spare time and I was able to use TigerCad to create a set of structural drawings for a storage shed I designed for a private client. <br /><br />I would suggest enhancing the text input to allow multiple lines (paragraphs) and giving he user more control of the arrow size (the auto arrow resizing is somewhat annoying). <br /><br />Also, it would be nice to be able to create simple blocks for re-use and finally, to have the ability to include the foot " ' "and inches " " " symbols when dimensioning.<br /><br />Thanks!Juan Riverahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05621715164241586187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-551630081270938526.post-79035894874099849222009-07-29T22:12:13.097+01:002009-07-29T22:12:13.097+01:00Thank you for this brilliant piece of free softwar...Thank you for this brilliant piece of free software that allows people to sketch and share ideas with our colleagues worldwide, regardless if there is a licence of the professional commercial CAD on the machine we are typing from.

That's exactly what I set out to do. There is a place for professional grade 3D design packages. I'm a particular fan of SolidWorks for this (see my blog page on 'Oar+Some' - I used SolidWorks to produce the photo-realistic images and the digital 'movie' on those pages. However, I thought there was a place for a simple 2D package - that as you point out - marries the power of software to the drawing board approach.Pete Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11600308110317455869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-551630081270938526.post-38425474856250223162008-10-30T10:39:00.000+00:002008-10-30T10:39:00.000+00:00Nice little CAD package.

I've just used it to do a garden design.<BR/><BR/>It would be useful if you could "bring forward"/"send back" shaded areas. I wanted to put some furniture on a shaded patio area but found that the furniture dissappeared. In the end I had to use line drawings of the furniture so it appeared on top of the shaded areas. I'm going to use it for designing the internal layout of a boat next. B.

I downloaded this morning and tonight I have my dimensioned drawings that I can now make accurate modifications, as needed. Very intuitive. Just one question: Is there a shortcut key to get to edit the coordinates? Moving the mouse to the edit button is distracting as it moves the point completely off the drawing.<BR/><BR/>Many thanks, JacJachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00601835694649956834noreply@blogger.com
