- write the line length using "LINE: LENGTH" text field
- choose rapidly the line angular direction (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°) using the new main direction buttons

Version Number: 1.84
"Ease of use update STEP 2"
* New selection procedure ("multiple selection rectangle" and "selective tap selection"):

- the selected objects remain selected during editing: copy, move, scale, rotate, mirror, mirror a copy (until user do not deselects the selected objects using "selective tap selection")
- when "SELECTION RECTANGLE" tool will be disabled ("SELECTION RECTANGLE: OFF") all the selected objects will be automatically unselected (use this to deselect all the objects)
* "LINE: SNAPS TO THE NEAREST CONTROL POINT" tool has now MEMORY of the object's acquired snap point:
- it remembers the X position of the snap point if after acquired an object's snap point, the user dragging the finger vertically on the screen (until a certain horizontal distance)
- it remembers the Y position of the snap point if after acquired an object's snap point, the user dragging the finger horizontally on the screen (until a certain vertical distance)

* Ability to export the design into a .pdf file format
* Ability to send the generated .pdf file with an email (as an email attachment)
* Added the ability to share with dropbox or other installed apps the files .dxf , .obj , .pdf :

.dxf files with MAC or PC commercial CAD applications like AutoCAD , QCAD , etc…
.obj files with Finger3D , Blender , Maya 3D , etc… (with Finger3D for iPad, iPhone, iTouch You can continue Your CAD design in a 3D world modeler, add texture like the ground and the sky, add lights, create doors, windows, arcs, add people or 3D furniture, color the 3D design, animate all, render high quality JPG and PNG images with antialiasing and image enhancement filters, print the 3D design, etc…)
.pdf files with pdfManager , acrobat Reader , etc…
* Added the ability to draw filled path for: FREE DRAWING, ARC, CIRCLE, ELLIPSE, GENERIC RECTANGLE/RECT_POLYGON(rectangle after editing), CURVE
* Added free hand drawing tool with high performance/zero latency : now You can use FingerCAD to draw also freehand objects. The zero latency of the FREE DRAWING tool gives to FingerCAD the same power of the professional boards for freehand drawing (try it also with snap to grid disabled)
* Added dynamic label of measure length while placing a measure
* Better indications for the tools labels and new buttons icons
* More accurate controls to set the cad area size

- if grid snap = 2 --> the line length variation for each step will be 2
- if grid snap = 1 --> the line length variation for each step will be 1
- if grid snap = DISABLED --> the line length variation for each step will be 1
* Increased precision for the ARC routine: the radius length depends now by the settings of "snap to grid: ON/OFF": it simplifies the drawing of doors, windows etc...
* Fixed a bug that cause the computation infinite loop for "LINE: ANGLE OR WALLS CLOSING" tool if the two segments to be closed are parallel
* EDIT (VLINK) and ANCHOR now work together:
example "place a point of a line in the desired position (X,Y)"
- draw a line
- set EDIT to ON pressing on EDIT button (the edit area will appear on the screen)
- choose VLINK (default)
- move the desired point of a line dragging the point (control point) with a finger (the anchor's position values will be updated automatically with the position of touch and the point of the line will be moved in that position)
- when the line's point is near to the desired position, write the desired position with the keyboard in X and Y text fields near the anchor button and press on anchor button --> the point of the line will be moved in the X,Y written position

You can now upload dxf files (read from FingerCAD archive, DROPBOX or iDisk servers, E-MAIL, WEB LINK and modified with FingerCAD itself) to DROPBOX or iDisk servers:
load dxf file created by your friend, modify it, save it where you want, copy modified dxf file into a DROPBOX or iDisk shared folder and your friend will have your version of dxf file (all can be done using an internet connection).
* UNDER FINGER PREVIEW FOR CAD PRIMITIVE FIRST VERTEX:
Select a CAD primitive (such as a line) and touch the screen (without dragging your finger) --> the position of touch under finger will be displayed upper left in the screen (into the preview window - it give you the possibility to see the exact position of the first vertex for the chosen CAD primitive, under your finger):
if the position is not correct raise your finger from the screen --> CAD primitive drawing will be aborted by FingerCAD (no one CAD primitive will be drawn);
if the position displayed is correct drag your finger on the screen (to draw the CAD primitive you have chosen) and raise your finger to confirm.
* New and better routine for NEAR VERTEXES AUTOMATIC ACQUISITION
* CAD GRID RANGE increased
* Better fonts
* Minor bug fixed
Version Number: 1.75
* Ability to specify the dxf file name when You send your dxf projects files to DROPBOX or iDisk
* Minor bug fixed

2011-05-12
Version Number: 1.72 - Enhancements:
- .DXF Projects Archive added:
1) store all your DXF projects into FingerCAD Documents folder using "iTunes File Sharing"
2) open "DXF Projects Archive", select your DXF project, import and merge it with current project (You can merge two or more DXF projects with current project workspace)
3) compatibility with FREE objects DXF library: "partLibrary". it includes the following dxf library objects: architecture, electrical, electronics, mechanical, misc, processing, templates, zipf_libs
- .DXF file import procedure fixed for DXF files generated by "Windows CAD software"
(with this fix you can now import .DXF files generated by CAD software running under Windows)
- .DXF file import procedure minor bug fixed
- .DXF file import procedure optimized (supports great file dimension)
- Graphics acceleration (also for great model): supports for multiple core CPUs
- "FingerCAD 3D Viewer": better supports for complexes 3D models (Finger3D core integration)
- UNDO for VERTEX EDITING WITH FINGERS functionality (if you have wrong, you can now UNDONE the VERTEX EDITING WITH FINGERS functionality (enabled with EDIT button))
- OBJECTS SNAP routine added (with this feature you can recalculate the objects snapping points, for example when you EDIT one or more objects)
Version Number: 1.73 - Enhancements:
* DROPBOX / iDisk integration (READ remotely stored DXF files):
- read, modify, save (into "FingerCAD project archive") dxf files stored on DROPBOX or iDisk server: You can open dxf file with FingerCAD directly from the DROPBOX or iDisk client for iTouch/iPhone/iPad (FREE) clicking on the "open in" button in the DROPBOX or iDisk client and choose FingerCAD --> the chosen dxf file will be opened automatically by FingerCAD (you can also merge more than one dxf files into the current workspace importing them one after the other from DROPBOX or iDisk - FingerCAD will work in background). It works like the "FingerCAD DXF Archive" but the archive is saved into the DROPBOX or iDisk server
* E-MAIL integration:
- read, modify, save (into "FingerCAD project archive") dxf files from email attachments
* WEB LINK integration:
- read, modify, save (into "FingerCAD project archive") dxf files directly from an internet link
* UNDO:
- undo for select, copy and move (if you have wrong, you can now UNDONE copy or move)
* Import for great dxf file dimension (compatible with the device memory)
Version Number: 1.74 - Enhancements:
* DROPBOX / iDisk integration (UPLOAD modified DXF):
You can now upload dxf files (read from FingerCAD archive, DROPBOX or iDisk servers, E-MAIL, WEB LINK and modified with FingerCAD itself) to DROPBOX or iDisk servers:
load dxf file created by your friend, modify it, save it where you want, copy modified dxf file into a DROPBOX or iDisk shared folder and your friend will have your version of dxf file (all can be done using an internet connection).
