SimpleDraw

Product Introduction

1. SimpleDraw is a web-based platform designed to create precise scale drawings for casual users and DIY enthusiasts. It combines accessibility with professional-grade measurement tools, eliminating the need for complex CAD software.
2. The core value lies in its ability to democratize technical drawing through an intuitive interface, real-time measurement displays, and non-destructive editing capabilities that maintain accuracy throughout design iterations.

Main Features

1. Floorplan Mode: Specialized environment for architectural layouts with single-click wall/door/window placement and upcoming interior fixture libraries for kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces.
2. Smart Alignment System: Context-aware grid assistance with automatic point snapping, axis locking via keyboard shortcuts, and visual feedback that adapts to zoom levels for pixel-perfect positioning.
3. Dynamic Measurement Engine: Dual-unit support (metric/US standard) with customizable measurement displays and real-time dimensional updates during object manipulation or viewpoint changes.

Problems Solved

1. Eliminates the steep learning curve of professional CAD software for occasional users needing precise schematics for home projects or space planning.
2. Serves DIY renovators, interior designers, and workshop enthusiasts requiring accurate scale representations without subscription fees or desktop installations.
3. Ideal for creating renovation blueprints, furniture layouts, or technical diagrams that require measurement validation and easy sharing through web links.

Unique Advantages

1. Unlike browser-based competitors, offers 100% non-destructive editing with unlimited undo/redo and group element manipulation for complex design iterations.
2. Innovative zoom-dependent precision scaling automatically adjusts alignment sensitivity while maintaining the option for manual override through numeric input.
3. Combines community-driven development (via Discord integration) with offline-capable web technology, ensuring accessibility across devices without app installations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Is SimpleDraw truly free for commercial use? Yes, the core scale drawing features remain completely free, with future premium options planned only for enterprise-level collaboration tools.
2. What browsers/devices are supported? Runs on all modern browsers (Chrome/Firefox/Safari/Edge) with touch optimization for tablets and responsive design for mobile previews.
3. How are drawings saved and shared? All projects auto-save to cloud storage with private share links, while local export options include SVG and PDF formats with customizable scales.
4. Can I import existing floor plans? Current version focuses on creation tools, but image import with scaling reference functionality is scheduled for Q4 2024 updates.
5. What measurement accuracy is possible? Supports precision to 1mm or 1/16" through direct numeric input, with visual alignment assisting approximate placements.
