May be a hidden Gem - Needs Completion

TONS of potential BUT ZERO INSTRUCTIONS!
Figuring out a few things along with some idiosyncrasies, but far from figuring this out for simple 2D drawing. It is clearly parametric but long way to go trying to understand how to use it and export results. It is too bad the author apparently abandoned the app quite some time ago.
EDIT: Extremely difficult/almost impossible to pull down constraints menu on ipad. BADLY needs someone somewhere somehow to put up a tutorial or step by step example of use. Bottom line: Dump it

Little control

It is beyond basic. No contol over what your drawing, also no scale

Perfect parametric CAD on the go

Many of the previous reviews dinged this app for being difficult to use, but once I figured it out it was so intuitive and easy. There are basically two tabs, draw and measure. The first step is to draw the rough shape. Then move over to the measure/constrain tab. The key here is to have selected what points or lines you want to measure/constrain and then press the appropriate button. Then make sure to deselect!

No Instructions

This would be a nice app and could provide exactly what I need, but there are no instructions on how to use for even the simplest thing. That’s the problem with a lot of these apps. Developers assume you just know what the cacophony of tiny symbols means with no explanation of how to even set up the drawing scale or parameters.

FAQ

What can I do with Updraw?

Updraw allows you to create 2D CAD drawings directly on your mobile device. You can draw familiar shapes like lines, circles, and arcs, and then add various constraints to solve for unknown distances and angles within your design.

What types of constraints does Updraw support?

The app supports a comprehensive set of global constraint solver calculations, including distance, diameter, radius, coincident, parallel, perpendicular, angle, congruence, intersection, midpoint, symmetric, and tangent constraints for lines and arcs.

How can I save or share my drawings?

Once you have completed your 2D CAD drawing, you can export it as a PDF or PNG image file. This allows you to easily share your designs with others or use them in other applications.

Is Updraw free to use?

Yes, Updraw is available for free. The application does not have any in-app purchases or advertisements, allowing for an uninterrupted design experience.

What devices is Updraw compatible with?

Updraw is designed with an intuitive interface specifically for touch screens, making it suitable for a wide range of mobile devices. The description does not specify operating system requirements, but it is intended for mobile use.
