iPocket Draw vs Schifter

** look at the video tutorials put online on our site ** iPocket Draw is a vector drawing program comprehensive (CAD 2D), which offers to you total control over your drawing. Of course all the simple drawing tools are available: line, rectangle, oval, arc, polygon, text. But also tools of free line with vectorization option (recognition of simple shapes), spline, regular polygon. All attributes of each object can be edited and changed: line color, line thickness, background color, dotted, arrow, font ... But also the coordinates of each object because iPocket Draw lets you draw with a scale chosen and modified. iPocket Draw also has a cotation tool simple and multiple. And functions of attraction powerful and accurate on the ends of objects but also the centers and on the intersections between all object types. The drawing area is not limited. The number of objects either. The zoom in and out either. The number of undo either. You can draw on several layers and create configurations of layers. You have an object library that you can complete as you want. A comprehensive menu command allows you to: select all, copy, cut, paste, group, ungroup, lock, unlock, duplicate, move, mirror horizontally or vertically, rotate, align, distribute, create parallel, divide, change the scale, converting in lines, polygon, send back, put in front of. You can insert photos or images or pdf files in your drawings. iPocket Draw has a file manager from which you can send your drawings by e-mail format iPocket Draw (RealCADD) or DXF or pdf or jpg image. But also to export in a photo album. And also print. Because we are not afraid of your judgments, you can try iPocket Draw with the Lite version which includes only a limitation on the number of objects (50) by drawing. If you have problems, please contact us by mail (see information window of iPocket Draw: i button). Thanks.

Schifter is a calculator for sawing angles, it calculates the setting angles for your mitre saw or your sliding compound mitre saw as well as the required alignment of the workpiece. (the result field to be used turns green) This calculation is merely based on you entering the beams’ designated inclination of installation (inclination of the hip rafters) and the number of beams coming together (hip rafters). With the help of Schifter, you can quickly construct a symmetric roof or other object, fitting perfectly. Mode of operation: With your input, namely the inclination and the number of the beams, the sawing angles to be chosen (mitre and inclination) for circular saws, mitre saws, sliding compound mitre saws, power saws with 3D cuts etc. are being calculated. Owing to largely unchanged settings oft he saw, Schifter enables you to quickly and easily do jack rafter cuts (double angle cuts or double mitre cuts). Such cuts are mainly being used in roof, wood and metal construction. Saving of time: Thanks to Schifter, you no longer need to painstakingly sketch the sawing angle onto each workpiece. Schifter aims at a quicker completion with a consistently precise sawing result and the workpieces’ better accurancy to fit. Precision: The icosahedron and the tented roof screenshots are meant to demonstrate Schifter’s precision. The required cutting angles were calculated by Schifter and then cut with a commercially available sliding compound mitre saw. The consistently precise angles of the sawn parts are a basic prerequisite for the success of a platonic solid.
