premessa: I revived with my brother a tablet pc with capacitive screen 10.2" of Chinese origin (but it works well also with the appropriate pen) with operating system windows 7.
tablet has good hardware and both the oos and various programs turn well.
request: I did some google research but I did not find much, so I ask if any of you use some cad program (they are good both free and paid) on these toys. with cad I mean something light and simple, more than anything to take notes and squirt/abbotage, because I wanted to test it if in the future it could fit me to take notes instead of the notebook block.

currently (in the evening) I installed solid edge 2d free, google sketchup, but I still have to test them using the pen.
 
I have repeatedly thought about this use.
However not having a hardware on doing tests and the fact that I don't know anyone taking notes this way, it dissuaded me.

If you can let us know

look at mine is only a test since working on a 10" screen (it is 220 x 125 mm) it is not that it can claim who knows what, however being that this tablet I reset it after problems at the backlight use to make us some evidence.

First of all with the capacitive screen (i.e. multitouch with fingers) is not the maximum, on the market there are some appropriate pens for these screens, I took 1 but I am not very satisfied, as it has the soft tip and you have to crush it to get the touch, to days should arrive another grip on ebay, made especially for this purpose... We'll see.

However returning to the programs, I installed solid edge 2d free, but working on it is not optimal at all, as it occupies a lot of screen and needs the keyboard for some inputs and therefore does not do to my case.

google sketchup also for the moment is not intuitive and I can't get the simplicity of use that I want to sketch out ideas.

I also installed autodesk sketchbook pro that is definitely better and intuitive, but it is more than just a design software and the version I have only saved in graphic format (jpg, bmp, tif, etc.). Surely the sketches I tried to do, are how I drew them on paper (almost... )

I will try to look for other programs, also because I'm sure that soon they will come out of appliqués for tablet, and within a few years they will also come out appropriate tablets for this type of application, a little cheaper than some solutions I have seen on the net.

Hi.
 
then returning to the tablet, of similcad programs to use with pen even if I turned long and wide google with research in Italian, English etc. I did not find much.

programs that we currently need more than anything for designers and graphics, while for technicians, designers do not yet exist.

the most intuitive one I could use is definitely autodesk sketchbook pro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrcxyb7hifk that allows me to swab on the tablet "almost" as on a sheet of paper... small size

I have seen that something like that exists for those who make electrical schemes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzhak2xcism Although from the video it is understood that the type uses a special tablet and not a tablet, although the road from my point of view is short.

what I found interesting and hope they produce it is this toy that from what they write should be produced in mid 2011 and at a cost of 99$. I find it interesting http://noteslate.com/ e http://notebookitalia.it/noteslate-13-pollici-quadricolor-99-dollari-10412further developments will be reported.
Hi.
 
I exhume this old discussion to ask if to today, after a few years, there is some program to make simple geometric drawings 2d "in cad style" for android.

something that can work on a tablet to take to the yard to draw directly the relief on the spot. therefore not a system that replicates the free hand design, but that can represent listed lines.

I searched on the paly store without significant results. I also gave an eye to the 99euro notebook link with drawing programs included marked by tequila ... is still in pre-order after 11 years.
 
something exists, I remember that there was autocad360 even if I never used it on cell.
Now looking at the fast I found this gnacad which seems to do to the specific case, light and allows to make quotated lines.
 
Thank you. I looked at gnacad, it doesn't convince me much, but I have to go deeper and try. I don't see any alternatives.

I don't want someone to send me an invoice because in this way a bridge span turned out shorter than 5 meters, but for these you use an iphone with the lidar, a gimbal and some scan3d app don't do your case, I think I understand that some "manual" reference coordinates still need, but...
 
Thank you. but that I know, automated scanning systems do not have the necessary accuracy in my field of use.
