Sketch, Doodle and Design to Scale
Use Archisketch as you would a tracing pad. Sketch. Draw to
scale. Layer over your sketch to further develop your ideas.
Erase. Add symbols, colour, text and dimension lines. Import
images or plans to set the scale. Zoom in without loss of
quality. Rotate a shape, a layer, or the entire drawing to try
different options.
Visualize your ideas in 3D and see them in context. Use smart
one- and two-point perspectives, and adjust your perspective
grid and view point. Align your perspective to an image, and
your lines automatically snap to the vanishing point. Print your
drawings to scale up to A1 size, or export sketches to use in a
CAD application or Adobe Creative Cloud.
Archisketch is a scale-aware sketching program ideal for
Architects, interior and landscape designers, product designers,
design students, or anyone working with design on an iPad.

Archisketch 3.0 – What’s New
Now for the first time, collaborate with others using the new iCloud Plus pack. Use colour like never before with the new Colour Plus pack. Archisketch 3.0 now provides the ability to add these (and future) Plus Packs to your Archisketch setup. In addition, Archisketch 3.0 adds a plethora of new features all geared toward giving you more granular control than ever before. For example, you can:
* Set up custom snap intervals to measuring units, and the snap intervals will remain consistent at all zoom levels for the drawing.
* Fine tune adjustments to dimension lines and leader lines.
* Add dot terminators to your leader lines.
* Turn off "Draw with Finger" when using Apple Pencil. This feature is particularly useful when presenting with Archisketch, because the presenter can draw and edit using the Apple Pencil and the client or team member can touch all over the drawing without impacting the drawing. Each presentation becomes much more tactile and interactive.
With iCloud Plus pack, you can:
* Collaborate with others on a project or drawing.
* Save Projects and PDF files to iCloud Drive.
* Use projects and PDF files from iCloud Drive.
With Colour Plus pack, you can:
* Add gradient fills to your drawing.
* Extend the existing colour palette.
* Set multiple colour palettes for use with a drawing.
* Create a global colour palette to be shared in all drawings and projects.
* Pick-up a colour value directly from the screen.
The new features in version 3.0 add to those we introduced in v2.9 which allow you to select multiple points of a polygon for editing or deletion, search for projects by title, and much more. Plus Packs are available to all licensed Archisketch 3.0 customers.

Archisketch 2.0 introduces exciting new capabilities and is much
simpler to use, requiring fewer steps to carry out most actions.
While working on making Archisketch easier, we added potent
features to empower your creativity even more.
Here's what we added:
* Apple Pencil support.
* Smart one- and two-point perspectives. Visualize your ideas in 3D
and see them in context. Adjust your perspective grid and
viewpoint. Align your perspective to an image, and lines
automatically snap to the vanishing point.
* Adobe Creative Cloud import/export.
* Dimension lines.
* Infinite canvas size with infinite zoom.
* Scrapbook for managing images.
* "Share Extension" imports images and PDFs from other apps.
* Elements can be Cut and Pasted, or moved to a new layer, while
still retaining scale awareness.
* Elements can now be locked to let you select an item below it.
* Export your drawing as PDFs.
* Add text and company logo to exports.
* Print directly from the iPad up to A1 size.
Here's what we improved:
In version 2.0, the selection mode was removed because you can
now select elements within the specific drawing modes. For
example, select multiple elements and modify them all at once,
changing stroke width, or fill and stroke colours. Undo includes
Redo. Improved isometric and axonometric drawing tools.
To learn more about specific capabilities, several new
instructional videos are available from the Help menu.
