RealCADD

RealCADD is a complex computer-aided drawing program that offers a wide array of tools for creating intricate 2D designs. It features a customizable interface and can automatically hide windows, but managing its various tools can prove challenging.

Offers numerous drawing tools

RealCADD allows you to choose between various drawing modes by accessing the tools pallet. You can create lines, rectangles, rounded rectangles, ellipses, arcs, polygons and much more. Some tools feature additional drawing modes, which pop up when you hover over them with the mouse pointer.
You can choose between two working modes, depending on the drawing style you are used to: click and drag or click and click.

Create numerous layouts

You can work with multiple layers, which can be hidden or displayed at any time. By setting one of them as active, any modifications you make are only applied to that specific layer.
Additionally, you can define layer configurations by creating layouts, allowing you to save multiple drawings in one file. All layers can be used in multiple layouts and all modifications made to them are visible in each configuration.

Auto-hides tool windows

RealCADD offers a useful feature that automatically hides the contents of tool windows when they are not being used.
However, it is not possible to dock these windows anywhere in the application's interface, making them difficult to manage, especially given that they are not moved at the same time as the main program window.
As a result, they are often in the way when performing various activities. Moreover, only some of them can be opened with keyboard shortcuts, making them difficult to access.
All in all, RealCADD is a useful computer-aided drawing application that offers a wide array of tools. It features a customizable interface, but may prove to be difficult to use for some, as tool windows cannot be docked and managing them is a somewhat laborious task.
