Above is a screen shot with a couple drawn elements, and the left side of the toolbar tools.

There are a handful of more screenshots posted up on my site, the links are as follows:

talon-designs.net/android/andcad/01.jpg - Layer select screen

talon-designs.net/android/andcad/02.jpg - File Operations

talon-designs.net/android/andcad/03.jpg - Display Settings

talon-designs.net/android/andcad/04.jpg - Samle Help Screen (Line)

talon-designs.net/android/andcad/05.jpg - Snap Settings

talon-designs.net/android/andcad/06.jpg - Color Picker

talon-designs.net/android/andcad/07.jpg - Snapping to Midpoint

talon-designs.net/android/andcad/08.jpg - Selection of Ellipse

talon-designs.net/android/andcad/10.jpg - Text Input Screen

That should be plenty of screens to keep interest.

@Lancealot - Thank you very much, and I completely agree, that when we started this, there was some doubt as to how precise you could actually be using a "touch based" screen. The good news, through playing with it, and given ability to set tolerances based on the size of your "touch area" as well as snapping options, we found that you can actually be quite precise.

Ill fiddle with it a little today, put together a drawing and give you a nice example of something that can be made with this.

Keep in mind, this is a work in progress, and although much of the functionality that is currently built into the tool, is at a "finished" state, there is certainly room for input and comments from others that may find use in this tool.

Anyway - here are the screenshots as promised, let me know if you have any further questions.

(Again - sorry about the inconvenience on the links)

[Android Software Development] talondesigns:
@zul8er - we are certainly interested in your input. Check out the screenshots and let me know if you are still interested. We dont need a huge commitment, but anything that you might be able to provide would certainly be a big help.

Android 1.6 is the minimum OS currently supported. We need to do some work on the graphics to go as far back as 1.5 to compensate for screen size, and we intend on doing so.. Just not at this current time.
[Android Software Development] Noob Squared:
I would be interested in trying out your CAD program. I've been doing CAD for ove 10 years now, started with AutoCAD but have been using Solidworks for the last 8 years.

In addition to using the touch screen for input, will you be able to enter X and Y coordinates using a keyboard or virtual keyboard?

What format will it save the files? DXF, JPG, or what?
[Android Software Development] talondesigns:
Seems there are more and more of us creeping out of the woodwork on a daily basis :)

Currently the file format is a proprietary format. But we are currently (today actually) working on saving out to a DXF format to be able to reload your files into AutoCAD or other supported softwares.

The ability to import is also in the works, but will require some massaging on the users end to make sure the DXF file is not binary etc. (MTEXT may not be supported either)

We have toyed with the idea of being able to put in specific dimensions on objects, and also work with x/y coords, but at this time, it only supports point to point drawing. We arent completely sure if we intend on building a "FULL ON CAD" application, or an application for people to use to simply get an idea of what they need to do for a job. The other key, is to keep the application at a price range that is reasonable for people. Most "PocketCAD" applications run around 50 bucks a copy - and rightfully so. To keep the tool at a reasonable range (below 10 or 15 dollars) it may need to be a bit lighter weight than those. Most people cringe at a 2.99 app..

IF we could devote our time 100% i am sure we could build a really nice full blown cad app :) Unfortunately as with most of us, the day job prohibits some of that time.

Its a WIP :) I'll put you on the list. Thanks for the input.
[Android Software Development] axlastro:
Are you looking for beta testers?

Hi, are you looking for beta testers. I'm a long year CAD user, and I'm sure I can help with the app development.

axlastro@gmail.com

Have you tried using some of the java based cad software as a source for your project? There are many and some might be open source.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ycad/
[Android Software Development] zul8er:
Yeah I am still interested. It will be neat to play with and see how it works. The coordinate input is a good idea, also, ever play with Pro Engineer? They have a cool way of building an initial drawing. You just sketch, regen, and then input your dimensions to make the object to your liking. Makes things a lot faster and easier to edit a shape if changes need to occur.

I dont know how in depth you want to go, or if that idea can be used.

My email is zul8er@gmail.com
[Android Software Development] talondesigns:
Nice :)

Give me a couple more days to get a good product out for you guys to test. Currently we are cleaning up a few little "we'll get that later" issues, and should be good to go by mid/late next week.

Thanks for providing the contact info, I will shoot you a message through email shortly.

Thanks agian for the interest.

@zul8er: nice. :) Look forward to hearing how you like the feel of it. I havent had a chance to play with ProE, as AutoCAD has been my forte for the last couple decades. Ill see if i can any kind of demo for ProE, and get an idea of how it works. Who knows :) Anything to make it easier for everyone is a good thing.

But yah - the indepth thing is the issue. We keep tossing with ideas and putting them "on the list" in case people start asking for them. I guess it just depends on how people really want to use this tool. (and of course, how much time we can continue to devote to it) - bah i hate day jobs :)
[Android Software Development] Lancealot:
I enjoyed the screen shots that were posted. Any idea whether you guys will support rendering/raycasting, or physics with inverse kinematics? Either way it looks great; Sign me up!
[Android Software Development] talondesigns:
haha :) Not sure if we are going to go the IK way. Maybe as a different project, something more suited to 3D, but for this app, we are only intending on running the 2D route.

My lack of knowledge about the OpenGL portion, really limits us with regards to 3D implementation. I spent a good 3 days just trying to get ahold of loading in a 3D model.. Still never got there (or would have probably released a 3D model viewer first).

At any rate, its hard to say where this will go. It mostly depends on the overall interest i suppose. Its certain that the sky would be the limit, if time were as available as the sky ;)

But cool.. Glad I was able to keep your interest.

Currently (as I type even) I am finishing up all of the help documentation for the app, the inline tutorial, and what not.. A couple more days on the file handling (DXF in particular) and should be set to go for a BETA run. ('couple more days' - like we all havent heard enough of that)

@lancelot - can you send me your email address via private message? That way I can do the BETA communications through there (link to files etc). You are welcome to email me as well:

support AT talon-designs.net

cheers!
[Android Software Development] foxlin:
Hey, I'm a high school student that has just started learning CAD, does that count as average Joe? I'd love to help beta test, I really want android to overpower iPhone 3.0 lol. My e-mail is squireboy56@gmail.com I use g1 with cyanogenmod 1.6...so idk if that qualifies. But anyways, Good luck!
[Android Software Development] Balrog82:
This really sounds promising. In the last few weeks, I really had the need for a good drawing software on my mobile device. But my Tytn II lacks of power. As I soon will get the Desire, I will hopefully have a quite powerful device for all day use (my Tytn II really sux atm). And because I have the re-occurring need of a drawing app, this could be it.

I mean I don't need it for simple drawing, but for constructing things CAD style and on the go ;) Graphics of furniture or something with measures and all that stuff.
[Android Software Development] talondesigns:
Hey guys.. just wanted to pass you an update on status (which is so much more than I seem to be getting from Verizon on the 2.1 update).

Small rant, but its done now.

Ok - status..

DXF Export is working now, supporting layers, linetypes, colors, and elements throughout the drawing. Am having some issues with getting ellipses to export via DXF (and im not alone - faulty specs are at fault), and that combined with the other issues regarding the math behind finding ellipse edges, we decided to comment out the ellipse alltogether for now. Not that it wont be back, but having so many rules with "you can do this to anything - except an ellipse" left us with no other choice.

It's coming back, just not right now.

We have saving and opening completed (simple proprietary ascii format, but it works for what we need it to do).

Zoom is currently partially working (difficult to complete the recalculation on the elements, but its really close) touch events for zoom are coming up as well. Maybe a pinch zoom even, considering that all devices are getting the 2.0+ upgrade - but we will see.. We dont want to keep anyone excluded from being able to use the tool.

@Balrog82 - we have definately taken this tool a long way since its initial conception. We hope to be able to bring more features that are more "CAD Specific" to the application, and will if it becomes a tool that gets used. We want to release it initially as a "basic" drafting tool, and see what kind of input we get. If we see that a lot of people are using it, and would like the ability to put in dimensions the same way that cad does (within limits) we will certainly look into it.

That being said - I hope the tool is still something you would be willing to try out. I find a lot of enjoyment with working with a tool at its early conception (started using paint shop pro at version 1.42) and now its on to version 14 or something and owned by corel. I just kinda get into that sort of thing, and hope that you all will do.

Good thing is, we hope its a draw to the tool, we plan on releasing it at the market both as a free version (no saving abilities) and a full version at a low price. As the tool grows, the price may increase a bit.. Keeping of course the original buyers at a place that they can keep updating the software at no cost to them. We think that will help the advancement and development of the tool quite a bit.

Anyway - It is right around the corner for initial testing. Please to all interested - send me a PM with your contact information (just an email would be great) I am going to see if i can start a private discussion here to invite you all to as well.

@Lancealot - i got your PM.. Am very happy that you are interested in helping. Expect to hear from me again soon..
[Android Software Development] Noob Squared:
Until we can see a working model of this app, I thought I would throw out an app that has some great drawing capabilities. The paid was is called "Picso" by Tiki Move, but I used the free version to try out; it's called "Picso Lite".

It's not a CAD app, but it's different from the other Paint apps on Android in that it has tools the other ones don't. It has the usual tools a CAD user would need, such as Rectangles/Squares, Circles/Ellipses, and Lines. You can change the colors and widths of these entities.

What I like about your program is that it has snaps, and the tools are on the bottom of the screen so they are easy to get to: /talon-designs.net/android/andcad/07.jpg

A feature Picso needs is a Zoom tool so you can zoom in to an area and draw whatever you need to and then be able to zoom full screen. It also needs a text tool. Since there is no dimension tool, you could put a text for the dimension.

P.S.,

I want to try your app, but I am only posting this to show how someone else has put these tools on their app and also to have a comparison on ease-of-use. One other thought, you mentioned the files your CAD app will create will be proprietary file types. Will you be able to save-as .jpg or .png so you can email or text-message a sketch to someone? That way if your on-site you will be able to send someone back at the office whatever it is to explain your ideas, and also they would not have to have an Android phone to view it.

Android Category Winner

Talon Designs, AndCAD

This application allows users to create simple geometric shapes, combined with notes, to describe plans associated with the art, architecture, engineering and manufacturing industries. Many of the tools familiar to CAD users are incorporated into this utility, meaning that fluent CAD users will feel right at home using this tool. However, the interface for this tool is simple enough for even the most novices of users to understand. This enables certain users (Contractors, etc) to be able to take notes while on a job site and associate them with vector elements within the drawing.
[Android Software Development] Noob Squared:
Did you get $10,000?
[Android Software Development] talondesigns:
That much I can say :)

Yep.. We went up against a handful of other contestants, and came out the big winner at the end. It was quite awesome. There are a handful of other things in the works, which is why I can't honestly say a whole lot more. The press release isnt out and I dont want to do anything wrong.

Gotta get lawyers involved at this point.

But yah. It was quite the experience.

Still cant find a bank that will cash a check that 'big' :)
