Title: Ipad apps for pedal builders?
Post by: gingataff on January 24, 2013, 03:45:39 AM
Just a shot in the dark, does anyone know any good apps that are useful for us pedal builders?
I'm thinking design tools for pcbs and decals.

Thanks Jimi.
Some good ideas there.

I was hoping to find something that makes to easy to put clock markings, dots, numbers, etc around pots.
I've tried inkscape but I can only manage about 5 minutes before I give up.

Are you using a stylus or your fingers?

So far I've been using a windows version of inkscape (via Wine) on my iMac.

I haven't tried any ipad apps yet but I figured they should be easier to use ;D

I've been looking through the app store and iDraw, Inkpad and TouchDraw caught my eye. If only they came with templates and libraries of stombox paraphernalia instead of bedrooms and bathrooms ;D

There is an Inkscape tutorial someone placed in the member tutorial section.  There is also a vector pack that can be used with Inkscape that someone created.  Sorry, its to hard for me to look it up on my phone but a search should work.

Would that vector pack be compatible with adobe illustrator? If so where can I get it???
