PocketDraw is an object based drawing program that makes it easy to create drawings, such as flow charts, org charts, and other diagrams right on your Pocket PC. With support for user created custom palettes, symbols and line end styles, there's practically no diagramming task for which PocketDraw isn't well suited.

What exactly is object based drawing? Think of it as the opposite of painting. When painting, objects get mixed together as you place them on the canvas. Once you've painted several overlapping designs, there's no way to easily modify each element independent of the others. By contrast, object based drawings maintain the autonomy of each object, making it easy to modify individual design elements, no matter how complex the drawing becomes.

PocketDraw's advanced features make creating drawings a snap. And, there's a desktop version of PocketDraw that lets you view, print, and export your drawings to other applications such as Word or Powerpoint.

Here are just some of PocektDraw's advanced features:

Drag and drop object creation		Adding objects to your drawings couldn't be any easier. Just grab symbols from the palette and drag them into your drawing. PocketDraw automatically snaps new objects to the nearest grid point.
Automatically routed connector lines		It's easy to create connector lines in PocketDraw diagrams. Just drag from one connection point to another, and PocketDraw automatically constructs a line connecting the two points. Repositioning lines is as easy as clicking and dragging line segments.
Drawing tools		PocketDraw's drawing tools allow you to draw straight lines, free-hand lines, and orthogonal or straight connector lines.
SVG export		PocketDraw exports SVG 1.0 compliant XML. Use this feature to post your PocketDraw drawings on a web site. (See an example.)
Symbol palettes		PocketDraw includes a collection of symbol palettes useful for organization charts, flow charts, and other common business diagrams. Download other palettes created by PocketDraw users from the palette exchange part of our site.
Object rotations		Objects in PocketDraw can be rotated to any angle. Just grab the rotation handled and rotate the object to the desired point. Objects stick at 45 degree increments, making it easy to achieve standard rotations precisely.
Sticky grid		PocketDraw features a sticky grid, making it easy to position and size objects uniformly, while also allowing you to place objects anywhere, even off-grid..
Object alignment		Easily align multiple objects along the same vertical or horizontal line.
Wide variety of line end styles		PocketDraw supports an unlimited number of line end styles. Standard styles include: Solid arrow Hollow arrow Open arrow Solid diamond Hollow diamond Solid circle Hollow circle Bar
User created palettes		Organize commonly used symbols into your own palettes.
Windows Enhanced Metafile exports		Export your drawings to other applications in Enhanced Metafile format.
Multiple zoom views		PocketDraw features a range of drawing views. You can zoom in to see object details, or zoom out to see the entire drawing.
Hideable scroll bars		Scroll bars can be hidden to show more of the drawing. When the scroll bars are hidden, a pan tool makes it easy to move around the drawing.
Full-screen mode		Click the full-screen button to have PocketDraw hide all menus and toolbars so that you can see as much of your document as possible.
Free Desktop viewer		Use the PocketDraw desktop application to view, print and export your drawings.
Free Pocket PC viewer		Use the free Pocket PC viewer to share documents with friends who haven't purchased PocketDraw.

PocketDraw has many developer features, too. Including:

Custom symbol definitions		Create sophisticated custom symbols and palettes using PocketDraw's XML symbol description language.
Custom line end styles		Create complex line end styles (such as arrows) using PcoketDraw's XML marker definition language.
XML drawing files		Write and read PocketDraw documents from your own applications. Use PocketDraw to capture input for processing in your application, or use PocketDraw as viewer for your application's output.
Smart object resizing		Anchoring and resizing policies can be embedded in custom symbols to make objects resize in a more natural way, rather than just scaling.
Component based implementation		Using the optional PocketDraw developer's kit, create your own custom drawing applications using PocketDraw's components, including the canvas, palette, and scriptable document object model.
Special mode of operation		PocketDraw features several special modes of operation that are useful for OEMs using PocketDraw as part of their enterprise application. See the release notes for more information.
