SitePAD™ : the first true CAD app for iPhone + iPad
In a couple of past articles I’ve talked about the different options offered for CAD on iPhone and iPad, and how nothing has really impressed anyone yet - bringing great frustration to many design professionals. We’ve transitioned from desktop to laptop quite quickly in the past few years, and now we’ve been aching for someone to create a useful app on the go. The existing apps are either too simplistic or just vector-based drawing systems - which give the impression of an architectural drawing - without any practical use other than creating an image of say a floorplan, which later must be traced over - most times inaccurately - in a proper CAD application to become useful.

Autodesk's Project Dragonfly graduates to 'Homestyler'
Some
might have been aware of an innovative web
application Autodesk had been working in
its
Labs called
‘Project Dragonfly’; the labs experiment with new
approaches to CAD design on the ground as well as
in the cloud, and Dragonfly was a ‘technology
preview’ for quickly designing a floor-plan using
only your browser.
Well I’m very excited that Autodesk has taken its
training wheels off and renamed it :
‘Autodesk
Homestyler’.
Homestyler
is a very simple 3D home + garden design
application all of which runs on your browser -
meaning that it’s ‘cloud-based’, just like many
of the services we use everyday like
Gmail,
Gdocs,
Flickr,
or
Youtube,
whethere you’re running Mac OS, Windows, or
Linux.
