ShortCAD v2009.04.26.1 (Freeware)
Requirements: PPC WM5, WM6
Overview: ShortCAD reveals the simplicity of well known CAD products just onto the palm of your hand! ShortCAD brings basic concepts of drawing creation to your Windows Mobile system.


With ShortCAD you can create and edit 2D vector-graphic drawings and templates just as you do in well known CAD applications. ShortCAD drawings are usually saved as .shortCAD files, but you can also save them in .dxf format so you can export your drawings from PDA to other PC vector-graphic editors.

While your Pocket PC is small and slow, all of the "huge CAD" features of ShortCAD have been reworked to make them accessible and usable without mouse and keyboard.

ShortCAD drawings are usually saved as .ShortCAD files, but you can also save them in .dxf format so that you can export them to other vector-graphic editors.

ShortCAD provides drawing by means of the following graphic entities:
- Straight lines,
- Poly-lines,
- Texts,
- Circles,
- Arcs,
- Ellipses and Elliptical arcs,
- Solids,
- Inserted Blocks,
- Traces;

Additional tools of ShortCAD allow to create the following drawing elements:
- Free lined figures,
- Rectangles,
- Chamfers;

ShortCAD allows modification drawing elements by means of:
- Moving,
- Scaling,
- Rotating,
- Changing line type, color, width, text style, layer and so on,
- Erasing;

In idle state ShortCAD just displays a fragment of opened drawing and waits for a command from you. You can launch commands of ShortCAD by the following means:
- Selecting appropriate items in the Menu.
- Tapping appropriate icons in the Command Toolbar.
- Tapping appropriate icons in the Command Palette.

Each command of ShortCAD has it's own icon on the Command Palette.
