I'm having same problem as Mick below. I have downloaded minidraw full to my ipad but I'm missing the shape and corner icons shown in the tutorial.
Another problem I'm having is that somehow I've ended up with the drawing screen and frame in landscape mode, but all the help text and the toolset is arranged in portrait mode so the bottom half of the toolset is off the screen and inaccessible, and there's no way to even scroll down to them. Please advise me as to how I correct this.
|
|
|
Yes, you can add a point to a shape. Just select an existing point and tap the icon with an orange circle and a +, it will add a new point after the currently selected one
|
|
|
Love this app. I'm just wondering - is there a way to add a point to an already existing shape?
|
|
|
|
I also downloaded the full version for iPad2 and I am missing icons like the create new shape icon, create circle, pen tool, move shape. If I press the location they will function, but the are not visible icons so I need to remember the icon locations

Hi, Sorry but currently such features are not available.

Hi. Can you import or copy/paste vector graphics from PDF or ai files?
Thank
C
|
|
|
Hey, brilliant app. Keen for text in the next version though, would definitely be a practical tool working with vector designs. Thanks for your work so far!
|
|
Please make it possible to use RGB color codes in future versions. I have colors I want to use, but they must be exactly the same as the colors I used preveously.. So please add HEX color code to the app! Thanks in advance!
Anyhow, I Really love this app! Its perfect for everyone who wants to design their own logo!

Sorry, there is currently no support for text in miniDraw
|
|
Hi, can letters words be added to a drawing / graphic?
Thanks,
Kieran

|

Could you please try and completely restart your device, and see if this fixes it. If not, can you please try using a different email account?
|
|
|
Just change email settings on iPad!

When I want to export file to png email, app closes and returns to the home page...

Hi. Sorry for the trouble. I'll have to look into it, honesty I have no idea why this happens. Sadly I have no advice, since the iPhone and iPad versions have completely different GUIs. I hope to come up with a solution soon, and perhaps add a HD trial version
|
|
Hi - I downloaded the lite version of mini draw to see if I wanted to buy the full app. I am on iPad 2, the very latest version of IOS and I have same problem as Michelle. When I tap on the icon to bring up the tool icons about a third of them are missing. Just blank grey spaces. This makes it very difficult to even get started let alone evaluate the app. Any advice please?
Thanks - Mick

Hi, glad you like the app. I started the offer a bit late on saturday, so I decided to leave it also on monday. Don't worry, I'll have other offers for both miniDraw and miniDraw HD in the following weekends.
Also, thanks for the blog post :)
|
|
Thank for the sale of miniDraw HD! Great app and runs perfect on iPad 2. Good video tutorials on your website (please add more).
In the App Store description is mentioned "Sale over the weekend" but the price change came through on Monday, June 6th. So I could recommend it only today in my German-language blog (see URL below) and hope that the sale will last for some days.

Criistii miniDRAW is just awsome! Have had it on iPod Touch 4G for quite a while and it saved me in the wee hours of the morning by creating a simple illustration to send to China vs. fireing up my pc. Have the full version. Any chance of a port over to the Android community to offer cross platform vector awsomeness? There is nothing over there right now that fits the need of true vector designing. AutoCAD SketchbookX has crossed platforms successfully for painters and sketchers but miniDRAW would win BIG as the defacto true vector app in the Android Market. Still loving it on my iPod! Thanks for the hard work and for creating something spectacular!

I mean creating a file that will become a clipart for keynotes, ipad version. A clipart with no background with a shape and size other than the minidraw canvas. Right now, If I draw an oval for instance, when I try to import it in Keynotes, there is always a withe background the size of the minidraw canvas around the oval once it opens in keynotes. And that happens even if I set the background option to transparent background in the color option of the background. It also happens regardless if I export to the gallery or if I email myself a png and then open it in keynotes.
Is there a way to make a clipart that won't have a background once you're out of minidraw and in keynotes?
|
|
|
Do you mean a png file with transparent areas, or the lack of a background. I don't think the png will work, however the transparent background should work, it is the default setting for minidraw.
|
|
|
Hi, I am trying to use mini draw to draw cliparts that will be used in ipad keynotes. Thus, I need a transparent background. I put the transparent background in minidraw and export to the gallery or send via png email but the background always ends up white. Is there a way to solve this issue?

Hi. The "Save" button saves over the current file. The "Save As" creates a new file, in case you want to save multiple copies of your work. I decided there is no point in requesting a file name on iOS since there is no centralized place to save it. Also, the "New Scene" allays requests confirmation, even if no changes have been mande.
|
|
|
I have miniDRAW HD. Thanks to the tutorials etc I have worked out most of the commands but cannot see a difference between "Save" and "Save As" they both just save a XX.plist (i.e. neither prompt for a name or file type). Plus when you click "New Scene" it implies the current scene is not saved?
|
|
|
Hi. There is a small bug, and the opacity is set to 0%. Just drag the opacity slider to 100% (or the desired opacity). This should do the trick.

|
|
Hi there. I have the latest full of minidraw on iphone 4 and love it. The trouble is the gradient function does not work. I can set it to gradient, choose the colours and the points, but the gradient does not apply to the shape. Help please.
|
|
|
I downloaded the "lite" version, just to test it out, but it won't even open!! When I try to open the app, you see the first screen for a few seconds, then it just goes back to my regular home screen!! I don't know what to do!!!
|
|
|
Thank you for the explanation and the quick reply!
|
|
I decided to move all 'Plus' features in the 'Full' version.
Don't worry, you actually have the 'Plus' version, and I will keep updating it, together with the others. It was a poor choice of words, when renaming the software. I didn't realize it may create some confusion. I'll fix this with the next update.
|
|
|
Just now i saw that my version of minidraw is the old version.. Why is there a Full version and why isnt mine "full"?
|
|
|
Tks very much - that is exactly what I will need before I can get on.
|
|
|
Please check out the 'Getting Started' section on this website. There you will see most tool buttons, together with a description on what they are doing. I'll try to setup a tutorial section dedicated to the HD edition as soon as possible.
|
|
Hi. Really sorry that you are having trouble with miniDraw. But, I am not ver clyear what the issue is. Could you please provide more details? Device type, iOS version, do you own the 'Full' version, or did you upgrade the 'lite' version using In-App Purchase.
Also, I am not sure what you meen, tools don't show up? When you press the menu Button (the alien face with 2 antenas) the menu page doesn't open?
|
|
Hi. I am starting up and need an absolutely basic manual. It looks really simple in the tutorial but it seems to be for the Iphone - Ipad does not have the little symbol that is used continually when choosing shapes and so on.
What do you suggest?
|
|
|
Hi I just updated my full version of minidraw . I went into the program and all the tools did not show up. I wanted to know if this is from the update ?4-4-11
|
|
Hi there- I noticed you decided to consolidate "plus" and "full". I have an idea though for how you could make "plus" more than a sort of vestigal appendage, and at the same time reward the few (it seems) people who bought it. What if you made it a universal iPhone/iPad edition, and charged like $14 or $15 for it? As someone who paid for the Plus version after sitting on the fence for a long time, and who just got a used iPad 1, *and* is just out of college (i.e. poor) -- well, it would make me very happy. But I also think it would make sense for your product lineup. Anyway, I hope you'll consider this. Love the app!
Thanks,
Jesse
|
|
|
You can do this by accessing "Scene Background" there you can select an image as bg
|
|
|
Hello, I would love to have an import of images to a base layer for tracing. Have you consider importing sketches?
|
|
|
Hi. Sorry, but this feature isn't currently available. I do however plan to add it in the future.
|
|
|
Mini draw hd question: can you adjust the canvas size at all with mini draw hd? If not, will something like this be included in a future update? I need to adjust my canvas size down and not my image. Thanks.
|
|
Hi. That's my bad. I am pretty busy with other projects and forgot to check the approve images section. I'll make sure to implement an email notification to my self so this doesn't happen again :)
Btw, there is a new image in the gallery now.
|
|
|
How come we never see any new drawings in the gallery? Don't you love us?
|
|
No problem, glad I can clear some stuff up.
Yes, you can get transparent backgrounds and smooth AA edges with miniDraw. Just make sure to explicitly set the background to transparent.
|
|
|
Thanks for the reply christii. Please forgive my ignorance. Is standard PNG transparency 24 bit? I thought it was 8 bit. I'm just wanting to draw some graphics in MiniDraw and use them in my iPhone app as icons etc, showing smooth anti-aliased edges against the background (which may not be plain white). Is the PNG output of MiniDraw suitable for that? Thanks.
|
|
|
No, just the regular 24bit transparency. But you could re-save that image with Photoshop.
|
|
|
With MiniDraw, can I create and export a png image with 8 bit transparency?
|
|
|
Cool little app! How about making one for OS X available through the new app store to complement the likes of Pixelmator?
|
|
|
Sorry I didn't understand your question at first. You can't change the workspace resolution (make it landscape), only the UI
|
|
|
How do you get the Working area to go landscape....
|
|
|
When I turn the ipad landscape and then zoom out, the working area is still in portrait mode... Is there a button I need to press? Sorry to ask. I love this program and am doing work the needs to be in landscape mode.
|
|
|
I just checked and it is working just fine. Just double check that you didn't lock the rotation on your iPad.
|
|
|
I have it for my ipad... Am I missing something (.I'd imagine it's easy... Just can't find it)
|
|
|

Landscape mode is available only in miniDraw HD (for the iPad). I presume you have the iPhone version, for that, there is no landscape mode feature.
|
|
|
Please tell me if there is a way to draw in landscape mode.
|
|
Glad you like it.
Since miniDraw is a vector application, the approach is a bit different than let's say, Photoshop. There is no eraser. You can delete/move/modify each shape individually.
You should check out the 'Getting Started' section of the website. There you will get a brief explenation for each of the tool buttons.
As for welding, just make sure that you have 2 openended shapes, that have the end points overlapping. Than just select one of the end points, and tap the Weld button (see Getting Started, or the tutorial found in the help section).
|
|
|
Hi, I just purchased your hd version for my iPad and my iPhone4 as well. I have no drawing background AT ALL. I am amazed at how easy it is to create shapes. Kudos to you for that!!! Here it comes... But I can't quite figure out how to weld shapes together. Is possible you have another YouTube video with instructions on how to weld and break. Also is there a eraser. Please help I feel this app could help me out a lot if I can just see how everything works. Thank you so much , ps. I am a welder by trade lol!
|
|
Check out this link:
http://www.labnol.org/software/itunes-app-store-refunds/13838/
It shows how to request a refund when buying the wrong software. You should probably mention that you actually wanted the 'plus' version.
I never actually tested this approach, but heard from others that it works.
Hope this helps,
Cristi
|
|
|
I just got it today can I get a refund for full version so I can buy the plus version cause it is not fear to me to buy a software just to find out it is not the best choice
|
|
Hi,
I am sorry to inform you that, there is currently no way to upgrade from 'full' to 'plus'.
The major changes between the 2 are aesthetic, and the ability to export images at higher resolutions.
I am now aware that it wasn't the best choice to split the application in 2 versions, but due to the way Apple manages the store there would be more issues remove one of them.
Lets say I would drop the 'plus' version and would make miniDraw iPhone 4 compatible. Than all who had the 'plus' version will not get any future updates.
|
|
|
I got minidraw full but I saw minidraw plus In the store for sale how they are different from each other. If they are different how I can get a upgrad from full to plus cause I don't want to pay a full version price again. If they are not different it will cause more confusion for the buyer to decide which one is for them.
|
|
Hi,
I am currently working on the promised update. I managed to fix most of the issues but still have trouble identifying some of them.
If it isn't to much trouble for you, could you please give me more details related to the application crashing, and the "random" generation of layers? Can you reproduce any of them?
Any help is appreciated, and thanks for your time,
Cristi
|
|
|
Hi.
Sorry to hear that. I'll start working on a new version and release it as soon as possible.
Thanks, for the feedback,
Cristi
|
|
I have HD on my iPad. It's pretty buggy. 1.It's crashed three times today.
2.Additionally, if I make a shape with rounded corners and decide to make them straight, the shapes will revert back to the original at some point.This happens in a session and has nothing to do with closing without saving.
3. If I try to clone a shape that I've altered from its original, I end up with a new original shape, not the alteration. I've tried saving before cloning, bt that doesn't work.
4. The program spontaneously adds layers for no reason. If I delete them, shapes from my other layers sometimes disappear.
I'm dismayed at all this, because I liked the program before. Too frustrating to use now. I won't trash you in the app comments on iTunes. I'm just looking forward to a bugless MiniDraw.
|
|
|
Currently this option isn't available, but I plan to add it at some point in the future.
|
|
|
Is there now (or at least hopefully soon) a way to transform an object asymmetrically – ie to scale the height without affecting the width or the reverse?
|
|
|
|
The best in vector for sure... Nice work... F
|
|
|
Thanks for the info. I'll check it out and see how I could adapt it for miniDraw.
|
|
|
I just bought imockups today and they have a way to select multiple objects. take a look if u haven't . it would be really nice to have something similar in minidraw. btw, great software. I got both the iPad and iPhone full version. keep up the good work.
|
|
Really sorry to hear that :(
Any chance you could contact me on support@minidraw.net with further details. I still have trouble reproducing this issue.
|
|
|
Minidraw looks very promising, but the colorissue you have to fix! On my IPhone 4 the problem occurs continously. When I load a drawing from My Gallery some colors has been changed. Please hurry and find a solution!
|
|
For contact, use support@minidraw.net
There is now way to select multiple objects currently. The main issue is due to the touch based system of the iPhone/iPad. It would make it difficult to quickly select/un-select multiple objects.
You could use the "Transform tool" to rotate a shape upside down and than mirror it if still necessary. But I'll make sure to add a mirror vertically feature soon.
|
|
Is there a way to contact support beyond this discussion board?
Is there a way to select all objects so that I can make them all a certain line color and weight?
Why isn't there a way to mirror and object vertically only horizontally? Is there a way to rotate exactly 90 degrees? Some basic functions are missing that would add a great deal of power and efficiency to drawing. Granted I am spoiled by CorelDraw, but it'd be great to have a nice fully featured vector drawing app for the iPad and iPhone. Please keep improving. The market is still untapped (small pun).
Thanks!
|
|
|
Hi. This is a known bug and i am working on determining it. The problem is that I found no consistent way of reproducing it. Any help in reproducing this bug would be greatly appreciated and would speed up its fixing.
|
|
|
Hello! I think it bears repeating that selected colors are not staying on shapes and borders. They flip to some random colors while doing other operations.
|
|
|
I think I may have partially answer my own question just zero the border, but it still makes it difficult to match another color in image or one you are wishing copy from a back ground :)
|
|
|
Hello all, very happy with app have it on iPad, something I feel is missing unless I'm missing it a color tear dropper type thing so you can set borders to match fill without playing around eye balling it but fantastic
|
|
|
Great update. I'm liking the gradients. Keep up the good work!
|
|
currently you can have a picture only on the background and it cannot be edited as position.
As for the messed up colors, I'll have to look into it as it is a bug. I'll fix it ASAP.
|
|
|
The "Plus" version is not live yet. The guys from apple released the other version before this one. If interested, you should wait a few more days until it is out of review.
|
|
Wow, I love minidraw!
Question: On the app store 'miniDraw Plus' is one of the 4 listed versions but it does not seem to be available. Is 'Full' now the premium version for iPhone4 and 3GS?
|
|
|
hello, i love the app, but i am having problems with a picture i want to add to another layer. i know i can add background image but i cant edit that. also, i cant figure out why it turns my whole picture a shade of blue after i copy and paste. I've looked all over and cant figure out why it does this. when i load the picture now it does it. it shows the thumbnail picture perfect then imports it with the colors all messed up. i cant wait to post some stuff up, once i can figure out these issues.
|
|
The ipod version doesn't have gradients yet. It is in review and should be out this week.
I was sure you had the iPad version :)
|
|
|
I forget to metion I have this on an ipod. Does that make a diference on the gradient?
|
|
|
Glad you love it. Sadly gradients work only on the shape for now. As for the background you could have a dedicated layer with a gradient rectangle as a workaround.
|
|
|
I am new to miniDraw, but so far I love it. It is very easy use and I have created some great graphics with it. I am looking for the ability to add a gradient fill to background, border, and/or shape. Is this possible? If so what are steps to do that? If not, I hope you might consider putting it in. It would be an excellent option.
|
|
Hi. Glad you like it. I plan to add the text functionallity at some point. I'll have to see how you can convert it to an editable shape. Do you think it would be enough to just add the text?
The images limitation is a known bug that I'll fix soon.
|
|
|
Great app! Just what I needed.. Can you please add a function to the HD version to add text? Also, I do you know if there's any issues adding background images from the "photo album" and not just "saved photos"?
|
|
|
I am happy to hear that you like it. Please don't forger to leave a review if you have the time. Thanks :)
|
|
|
Thanks! Great app, my friend!
|
|
|
To make a colored gradient, highlight a color (red boarder) and tap the middle right button ">" to select a color.
|
|
So cool. So, so, cool.
It would be great to have an updated video tutorial.
To give a shape a colored gradient, do you make a grayscale gradient layer underneath it and fiddle with the opacity levels? Is this a dumb question?
Thanks!
|
|
|
Could you please detail your issue a bit more? Basically you created a scene with a transparent background and when you exported the SVG, you didn't get a transparent background? Did I understand the issue correct?
|
|
|
Love the app, I too have had same problem with colors shifting. Main issue is trying to create a design with q transparent background. We have a shop on cafe press and I spent a great deal of time on a tshirt design only to find the transparent background I thought I had selected, didn't transfer, only a white background. Would love this to be operator error:)
|
|
|
Sorry, But I am not sure what you are taking about. The width of what?
|
|
|
also at some point would it be possible to be able to input the width too, rather than just sliding along? Either my finger moves slightly as i'm lifting it (or it's too big, lol) and the number changes. Maybe others have this problem too?
|
|
|
I was actually planning to somehow compact the menu. I'll do this once I finish the Gradient patch.
|
|
|
It would be a plus if the menu would collapse to allow more real estate for drawing, import background from photo library, and away to adjust the the sensitivity so that rotations don't occur with the lightest motion.

just adding points i mean :)

Great app, glad I bought this. Good to hear gradients will be in an update. I agree that adding/removing points should be in there at some point. Thanks for this great app ^_^
|
|
|
…and the pathfinder tools (unite, subtract, etc.) would be great too.
|
|
Hi.
Great app. Please add position and size by numbers. I like to design logos and need to work with exact numbers. Would be so great!

Can i have a promo code for mini draw HD? I make animations and woukd like to check this one out. I woukdve bought it but dont have itunes store credit money right now. Thanks. Alan. Oh and reply to this email: alanconrad408@yahoo.com
|
|
It would be nice to move the drawing and points out from underneath the finger.
The iPod add "layers" has a good example of what I mean. And I would like to see a freehand drawing tool.
This is a great app thank you
|
|
|
HAHAHA, okay. I hope they are available by the time I go on *my* vacation! (end of September)
|
|
|
Gradients should appear in the next update. It will take a bit more time since I'm leaving for my vacation :)
|
|
Not sure if this feature has been discussed, but when can we expect to see gradients/transparent gradients?
Thanks for the great work so far!
|
|
Oh ok. As odd as this sounds, I am a developer too (not an extremly experiece one) and I do have an iPhone 4 (they relesed it in my contry a few weeks ago). If you ever want free help upgrading to retina display, I'd love to try to help.
Tyler
|
|
|
Yes, I do plan to optimize miniDraw for the new iPhone. The problem is, I don't own one yet, and it hasn't been released over here. So it mite take some time.
|
|
Hello!
Your app looks great and I've tried the non-full (free) version and it's very well done. I'm thinking about buying it, but I have an iPhone 4, are you going to add full retina display resolution?
Thanks!
|
|
|
What can I say... Vector on the go!
I lost hours of sleep last night playing with this app...I can wait to really get creatively crankin' with it!
|
|
|
Great App! Glad gradients are coming. Can we get some booleans as well? A quick color picker for stroke and fill right on the toolbar would also own. Thanks!
|
|
I think this app is great!
But I really miss a feature, the ability to add points on a curve or on a circle, I think this is a important feature to every vector graphics app.
Please add this! This maybe give you more clients.
|
|
|
|
You're in luck. I plan to add gradients with the next patch. Glad you like the app.
|
|
Gradients please!
That's the only thing I would need to use this for work. Shape/layer blurs would be nice too but not absolutely necessary. But otherwise, great app! It's just one step away from letting me carry my office in my pocket.
Thanks

I just sent version 1.5.0 for review. If everything goes well, it should be live in a week or so. Sadly until that time I don't think there is much you can do except updating to 4.0.
Sadly, I can't guarantee that any updates beyond 1.5.0 will work with iPhone OS 3.x.x, as apple is aggressively promoting the new OS. Because of this I have some issues with the development.
If this helps, I own a 3G, and did a clean install of iOS 4.0, it works a lot smoother than the previous updated version of the same OS.
I am really sorry for the inconvenience. Also, don't forget you can request a refund for the time being. But I hope you'll use miniDraw again as of version 1.5.0
Regards,
Cristi

Hi! I just purchased 1.4.1 FULL on Apple Store.
The app crashes after home screen.
I read here why: app does not work on 3.x.x. only on OS 4
I don't want upgrade to OS 4 (due to known problems after upgrading)
I read downgrading instructions at http://www.maclife.com/article/howtos/downgrade_iphone_app
but I don't have v 1.4.0 (i just purchased your app so 1.4.1. is the only version I have)
How can I solve the problem?
Thanks!
Luca
|
|
Hi.
The last version of miniDraw (1.4.1) was built for iOS 4.0. You are probably running it on 3.1.3.
What you could do:
- Upgrade to iOS 4.0 OR
- Downgrade miniDraw to 1.4.0 (this version works on 3.x.x)
In any case a new version will be live in about a week that will work again on os 3
Hope this helps, and sorry for the inconvenience
|
|
|
I bought and installed the app and it opens, but then shuts down immediately! How can I fix this? I bought the full version.... a lot of money to spend on an app that doesn't work!
|
|
I know what you're talking about, but the majority of the Apps have found a workaround for that...
I am upgrading to iPhone 4 but not until it's released contract free, since I am in Lebanon and can't have an iPhone with contract...
but I'm sure that there's a way to do it...
thanks again for your answer :)
and your App rocks, keep up the good work... :)
|
|
|
See my previous comment. In the meantime , use this guide to downgrade to the miniDraw 1.4.0: http://www.maclife.com/article/howtos/downgrade_iphone_app
|
|
|
Sadly Apple is trying aggressively to force customer to upgrade their devices. I'll have to find a workaround to build the app for iPhone OS 3.1.3
|
|
|
Not your fault. For some reason the current layer is not selected in miniDraw HD. I am in the process of fixing this bug. An update should be available sometime next week.
|
|
Hi,
Just upgraded on my iPod 2nd Gen running 3.1.3. Program crashes after the home screen. Wissam talks about downgrading to previous version of the app. Could you tell me how to do that?
Thanks.
P.s.
I like the new screenshots on your App Store page.
|
|
Hey,
ever since the last upgrade, miniDRAW stopped working on my iPhone 2g (which did not get an iOs4 upgrade)...
I open the App and it get stuck on the welcome page for a 3.5 seconds then the App closes again...
I downgraded to the previous version of the App and it works like a charm again...
Any way to fix this???
thanks...
|
|
Thanks for response. I must be a bit slow as I can find nowhere on the iPad that I can create a crash report to send on this iOS. Checked manual and Apple Support with no luck.
In the interim though, I think I've solved my problem. I have been trying to merge down without selecting a layer. As a result, the app will quit immediately after the merge box appears and an okay given. My mistake in not selecting something to merge - feel like an idiot - so sorry. You do have a great app here.

Sorry to hear that. If possible, next time the application crashes, could you please send a crash report. From what I know, iOS offers this feature out of the box.
This would help me track the issue since I am unable to reproduce it on my own iPad.

HD version for iPad. Cannot merge layers without app crashing and everything is lost. Even when I createt two simple lines, so that it is not a complex file, crashes and is lost. Should I delete and try to reinstall or is others having this problem?

Great drawing app. Wonderful node manipulation.
Future feature request: "Library" arrangement for saving/importing (re-using) layers visually, to add past artwork without replacing your current work. Something like a cross between the gallery (which clears your current work) and Copy & Paste between scenes (which is OK as a workaround for now, but doesn't encourage significant re-use).

Would like to see a "Freeform" drawing tool so that I could sketch out lines. I am a professional Designer and Illustrator and would like to be able to work with vectors AND freely draw out lines.

Please provide some type of importing...

Hi.
This is a known bug. I am currently in the process of trying to fix it. Problem is I didn't manage to reproduce the issue.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Another vote for SVG import. I'd recommend using the Dropbox API from Dropbox.com. I believe the first 2Gb of space is free.

Hi.
Sorry to hear that. Actually someone else mentioned this bug as well. Problem is I didn't manage to reproduce it, so I don't really know how to fix it. Any chance you can give me a few details. Was the scene a fresh one or did you load it? Was the object you are working on cloned?
Sorry for the inconvenience. I'll try and fix this ASAP.

Hi, while working on a drawing my colors shifted for no reason. This happened twice. By 'shifted' I mean the color white turned to aqua, gray turned to blue, and orange turned to green.
I went back and made the corrections then the colors shifted again. Anyone else run into this problem?
|
|
Hey.
I'll make sure to include these features in future versions. Just need to figure out an easy way to move and scale the image without messing up the rest of the scene.
|
|
|
On the background photo, I want to be able to move and resize the background image so I can use it as a template, but currently the iPad version warps the aspect ratio to fit, which doesn't work at all for most images. You also cannot get photos from any library except the camera roll. Why not be able to get any photo from any gallery.

Great App overall. I'd say in top five of drawing Apps.. One thing I'm having trouble with is deleting point. Whether point is at end or middle I can't seem to delete...no big deal but could come in handy. Thanks again for App.

Hi,
Sorry but this feature doesn't exist. The main issues are the technical limitations imposed by Apple related to file management.
In the future, if I see a need for this, I plan to implement some sort of online storage where you can manage your scenes from the application an from a web browser. This would include SVG import. This is just concept right now and will take some time to implement if enough customers request it.
|
|
|
Just thinking about getting miniDRAW and wondered if there is currently or there are plans for SVG open/import?
|
|
|
OK. However, I was hoping that the background would be stored in a separate layer. I want to use the photo to trace certain features. I still like the app and will give a good review.
|
|
Hey, glad you like it :)
Just open "Scene Background". There you have a "B/g Image" button. This will open your gallery where you can select an image.
Hope you can leave a 5 star review for my app, if you don't mind.

Just purchased MiniDraw HD and love the vector drawing capability. Question: How do I import a photo from my saved photos as claimed in the User Comment section of the app store?
|
|
I'll check it out and let you know what I find.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
|
|
Wow, you're fast! Excellent customer service.
Ok, basically I attempted to draw a simple illustration of a man, on 4 occasions using the sphere shape creator, using multiple layers (for each body part) and editing the points of the circles to reshape as desired.
each time it has quit the illustration was at around 3 or 4 layers in depth but there doesn't seem to be a single consistent action which is making it quit.
|
|
Hey. Sorry to hear that.
No, I don't know why this could happen:
Could you please give me a few details?
1. Is you scene complex? Do you have a lot of layers/ shapes?
2. Is the iPad jailbroken?
3. Is the exit random or can it be reproduced?
|
|
|
I have the application for my iPad, I think it looks awesome, but I am able to confirm this as the application keeps quitting on me. Any ideas what may be causing this?
2 suggestions for improvements in future versions.
Gradient fill
Auto save
Great work

In the full version and the iPad version, you can email yourself the PNG of what you drew, or the SVG (in case you want to continue work in Adobe Illustrator or other vector applications)
|
|
|
I mean importing the object into other applications like the Apple Keynote presentation software
|
|
Hey. Really glad you like my application.
I am sorry to say, but I didn't understand your question. What do you mean by transforming it into a keynote?
|
|
Your app looks awesome and I consider buying the HD version on my iPad. Before I do that, I need to know one thing however that I haven't found in your documentation:
Can I copy an object into keynote without going through the camera roll and turning it into bitmap on the way?
Thx (and I'll probably buy it anyway)
|
|
|
Currently you cannot continue an existing line. What you can do, is create a 2nd line and weld them together.
|
|
Thanks for the explanation, I tried deleting a point, but it still deletes the whole shape. How do you do that?
Just one more question, lets say I have a unclosed vector line, and I go to the menu to say, make it smooth, is it possible to continue adding points to that vector line? I tried, but it just selects the point.
Sorry, still trying to learn your app :)
|
|
Hey, I am glad you like my application.
1. I know there is a bug with camera images, still didn't manage to figure it out.
2. You can delete a shape. Just make sure you have no point selected (if you do, you can delete the point).
3. You can set a point to corner, that way you can move each handler separately.
|
|
Tried the lite version, and I must say its awesome. Any upcoming sale on the current full version? ;)
Few suggestions that I'd like to contribute..
1. The background image feature is cool, but choosing one from my camera roll distorts the image. Maybe add a crop image feature and add the option for transparency for the bg image so you can trace easier.
2. Have the option to delete each shape you select unless there is one, which I haven't figured out. I know you can delete the layers.
3. Add the option to adjust the vector handles without effecting the other one. I'll explain if you don't get what I mean.
Other than that, great great app for Illustrator users on the go.

I'm messing with the free version and I was going to purchase the full version then I saw you were working on an iPad version. I will waitbfor it. Great little app. I am a screen printer who does use pro software but it would be great create little vector graphics on the go.
Hurray please! ;-D
