Engineering Sketch Software
The napkin sketch. We hear about it a lot when we talk about design innovation. Despite sophisticated design tools, many great ideas still start as scratchings on a diner or barroom napkin–the nearest tool available when inspiration came.
But napkins have their drawbacks. They tear, they fade, they don’t really help you draw curves.
Those drawbacks are especially obvious when you see what Creo Sketch can do. What is Creo Sketch? It's a free 2D drawing app--made for the moments when you’re more of a visionary than a technician. It costs less than most napkins, it’s FREE to download and use, includes freehand drawing tools, and doesn’t require any special CAD expertise to use.
In this quick demo, Paul Sagar shows how to
- Sketch a freehand object in pencil.
- Overlay rough curves with smooth, adjustable curves.
- Use curves for masks, as he airbrushes color onto his object.
- Add highlights and strategic erasing.
A New Kind of Software For Engineering. Even the smartest of engineers would need a little help in finishing their projects. Engineering drawing software takes a huge burden off their backs by helping them draw all they need to complete certain projects. Levent Kara at the Carnegie Mellon Department of Mechanical Engineering in his Ph.D. Thesis titled Sketch Understanding for Engineering Software says it pretty well. Sketches also serve an important role as a problem solving tool, both by aiding short term memory and by helping to make abstract problems more concrete. Extensive Engineering Symbol Libraries SmartDraw includes a large collection of mechanical engineering and architectural shapes and stencils for every type of engineering drawing. Intuitive Interface You already have a degree in engineering, you shouldn't need a degree to operate software.
Engineering Sketch Program
One more better-than-napkin characteristic of Creo Sketch: You can load the sketch or artwork into your other Creo apps when your idea graduates to the next level. Use it for starting 2D drawings and 3D models.
