CADmx is the most powerful techical drawing software (which I'm aware of) for the Series 5 handheld computer.

HELP!!! I can't close CADmx! You can't close CADmx while it's waiting for you to input something, like for example coordinates. Just press escape once or twicce to cancel the current drawing command, and then close CADmx.

CADmx includes advanced features, for example

• 16 different named layers.
• Uses absolute, relative, and polar coordinates.
• All coordinates can be input as mathematical statements, like this example "(100-50)*SQR(Pi)"
• Full pen support.
• Export to AutoCad^® compatible DXF-files.
• Printing of drawings, with full scale support.
• Re-use objects by adding them to the clipart gallery.
• It is, and it will always be, freeware, at least for personal use.
• It's quite simple to use, although it has been designed with flexibility and power in mind rather than ease of use.
• Works for the Series 5, Series 5mx, Series 7 and compatible machines.

The current version is regarded as an beta version, and probably still contains bugs. Make sure to backup wour work frequently.
See below for screenshots of CADmx in action.

Things to do before the final release

• Fix a DXF export bug reported.
• Fix other bugs as they are discovered.
• Update the help-file

The future of CADmx.
Some, all or none of the features on this wishlist will be added in the future:

• DXF import. A lot of people have asked for this, and some kind of simple DXF import will probably be added in the future.
• A type of 'object snap' as in autocad, so you can start a line accuratel from the end of another line etc. Object snap might appear in the future, at least to some extent. Snap to endpoint is most likely to occur.
• Easier selection of multiple objects.
• Double tapping the pen on screen starts the end of a line or centre of circle and even selecting objects for editing and deleting. This probably won't be added, maybe some day, but not in the near future.
• Offset of lines etc. Maybe.
• Undo. This feature won't be added in the near future.
• Trim and Extend. Might be added in the future.
• Updated Clipart gallery. Different categories, and some editing of clipart objects will be added in the future.
• Some kind of toolbar. Might appear... but I'm not sure yet since there already is one.

If you want to add things to this wishlist... please send me a mail.

Licensing issues

There is a possibility that there won't be any new features added to CADmx 1.0 in the future, only bug fixes. CADmx 1.0 will remain free for everyone to download and use.
All new features will be added to the next version of CADmx, which will be called CADmx 2.0, CADmx Pro, or something similar. CADmx 2.0 will be free to download and use for personal use, educational use and for students. CADmx 2.0 will probably not be free for commercial use. The price for future commercial use of CADmx 2.0 is not yet set, although, it will not be very high. CADmx 1.0 will always be free, even for commercial use.
Anyone will be encuraged to register CADmx 2.0 anyway, even if it's not necessary.
In case you are a student, or use CADmx for personal use, and have low financial resources, then you are not encuraged to register the future CADmx 2.0.

This statement might change in the future.
