Features & Capabilities

Updraw is a pocket 2D CAD tool that brings familiar geometry to your touch screen. Create points, lines, circles, arcs, and cubic splines, then use a global constraint solver to compute distances, angles, radii, coincidences, and more.

Features include a touch-optimized interface, interactive and manual solver modes to resolve constraint ambiguities, and export options for PDF and PNG.

User Reviews

Updraw is praised as a lightweight, intuitive 2D CAD sketching tool with a simple draw-and-measure workflow, and its no-frills, free or low-cost approach appeals to quick dimensioning on mobile. Reviewers repeatedly highlight its potential and easy entry, including a familiar Onshape-like interface. However, critical show-stoppers recur: a near-absent onboarding and documentation; scale, units, and accurate dimensioning are unreliable; editing is limited (cannot delete lines, shapes deform, constraints hard to access); stability and device compatibility are patchy (crashes and OS/device restrictions); export options are limited (no DXF/PDF). Overall, promising but needs tutorials, robust scaling, and better stability to be practical.

Pros

Intuitive and easy to learn once you figure it out.
No-subscription, no-frills, simple to use on mobile.
Useful for quick 2D CAD with a dimensioning/measurement workflow.
Handy as a portable sketching/dimensioning tool; can import to other apps.
Promising potential with a simple design that could improve with updates.

Cons

Lack of onboarding/tutorials and documentation; minimal guidance.
Scale, units, and precise dimensioning are unreliable; cannot reliably draw to scale.
Editing limitations; cannot delete lines, shapes deform, constraints are hard to access.
Stability/compatibility issues; crashes on newer devices/OS and inconsistent support.
Export limitations; no DXF/PDF export and limited export options.
