Description

Did you know that DoodleCAD now exports shapes as code snippets for developers?

DoodleCAD is an easy to learn illustration and 2D CAD tool that gives MacOS users what they need to create simple illustrations, diagrams and mechanical drawings.

I originally wrote DoodleCAD because I needed an inexpensive easy to use CAD program for designing a back yard pond and patio. Eventually I had added enough features that I thought I should share DoodleCAD with others who might have my same needs. As time goes on I have added features that I need for my own projects and lately have been trying to clean the code and user interface to make it more modern. Sadly I have to pay bills and eat so like you I have a full time job that takes most of my time and energy so progress is sometimes slow.

My most recent addition is exporting code snippets for developers to use to create shapes in their own applications. Snippets for SwiftUI, NSBezierPath, UIBezierPath and CGPath can be created for any selected item on the canvas complete with transforms for positioning. These snippets are ready to copy/paste into any iOS, MacOS or SwiftUI application. The code snippets do not yet have stroke or fill added but it's on the way.

DoodleCAD is free to use with the only restriction being that you cannot print or export drawings or code snippets from DoodleCAD for use in other applications without paying a small monthly fee. There are no restrictions on how many files you create or how complex they are or what tools you use when in the free app and you can start and stop the subscription any time you like. Take all the time you need to create the perfect drawing for free and then subscribe for a month to export it for use in another app.

Version 1.7.9

Developers can now use DoodleCAD to create complex shapes for use in their applications and then export a code snippet for creating the path in SwiftUI, NSBezierPath, UIBezierPath or CGPath form.

Very good

This is a simple CAD programme which I use for preparing simple scaled construction drawings and maps. For these purposes it is excellent and entirely intuitive to use without the need for a huge manual. You can learn everything in a couple of hours. The earlier versions were somewhat unstable but the latest version has no such problems.

Disappointing

Seemed to be a good product to start with. But soon ran into problems. Eg, I kept setting dimensions to mm, it kept setting back to inches. 100% scale is only shown on screen when set to 200%. Paper sizes loads in all wrong, eg A4 comes in at about A6. Then when priting, sale breaks. 15mm circle at 100% prints out at 8mm. Setting shade color doen’t take. You cant specify grid size, and default exactly, is something odd and non-metric. Copy and paste some text, and he font/text size changes, however all setting say font size is the same. Font box option on bottom of screen are mostly cropped of form so can’t be selected. No font prteview. Etc. I would wait until this one is a little less alpha.

Website and support site down on 20 Dec 2020

Can't get a fill to apply to an object. Website and support site are unobtainable today. I would aard 4 stars when this is fixed.
