Creating & viewing drawings & process diagrams |
Introduction While creating and viewing drawings may not at first sight appear to be a killer application for the color Palm-size PC business user, there are times when this can be very a useful feature. For example, sketching out a quick map using the Rich Ink feature of the Note Taker application when you're not quite sure of the location of a restaurant.  Available Applications There are a number of sophisticated drawing applications optimized for color Palm-size PCs on the market, including One Cat Doodler 2.1 from One Man And A Cat Software and PocketCAD™ and PocketVIEW™from Remote Engineering. Despite its whimsical name, One Cat Doodler is a powerful drawing application that allows you to draw a wide variety of shapes such as polygons, ellipses, and rectangles and also comes with color fill and text tool features. It even lets you paste a drawing directly into a Note Taker file or convert the file into a bitmap for transferring to your desktop or notebook PC. For engineers who need to view, edit or even create CAD files from AutoDesk software, Remote Engineering has developed two highly-sophisticated CAD applications for the color Palm-size PC. PocketVIEW™ and PocketCAD™ come packed with a wide range of advanced features that allow users to drag and drop files between their Windows CE device and their desktop, create lines and shapes, and zoom in and zoom out on drawings. Potential Business Applications In addition to sketching simple maps and pictures using the Rich Ink feature in Note Taker, there are a number of potential business applications for drawing programs on a color Palm-size PC. One possible application is drawing flow charts and process diagrams for distribution to participants after a meeting either as an image file or embedded in a Word file. For more specialist applications such as CAD, the possibilities become even more intriguing, giving engineers the capability to annotate and edit diagrams while they are in the field.
