FAQ

Welcome to the Gestureit® CAD FAQ page. Here you’ll find answers to common questions about using and licensing Gestureit CAD.

1. What is Gestureit® CAD?

Gestureit® CAD is a mobile CAD drawing and editing application designed for Android devices. It allows you to view, create, and edit DWG, DXF, and PDF drawings directly on your phone or tablet using an intuitive, gesture-driven interface optimized for mobile devices.

Gestureit CAD is built specifically for mobile productivity, combining professional CAD precision with touch-first interaction.

2. Why Gestureit CAD — and why trust it?

Gestureit CAD is built on a professional-grade CAD engine combined with a modern, gesture-based interface developed specifically for mobile devices.

Users trust Gestureit CAD because it offers:
• Reliable CAD editing backed by an industrial-grade engine
• Full user control over files, storage, and privacy — Cloud access is optional and fully user-controlled
• True offline functionality without hidden syncing
• Continuous development and regular updates from the original development team
• A patented interaction model not available in competing mobile CAD apps

Gestureit CAD’s interaction model is based on original, patented technology developed in-house, supporting a long-term product development and innovation.

• Full CAD drawing and editing tools
• Optional access to supported cloud storage via Android’s native storage interface (only when you choose to create/save/open files there)
• Cross-device access using your Google Account
• Full offline use for all core features
• No ads

5. What file formats are supported?

Gestureit CAD supports:
Edit: DWG, DXF, PDF
Create: DWG, DXF
View: DWG, DXF, PDF, DWF, PNG
Import: PDF, DWF, PNG, JPEG
Export: DWG, DXF, DWF, PDF, PNG

A wide range of DWG and DXF versions are supported. Files are saved in the same version as the original. New files are created in the latest available DWG or DXF version. Version support is updated as part of annual engine updates.

6. Does Gestureit CAD work offline?

Yes. All core drawing, editing, measuring, and file operations work fully offline.

Internet access (Wi-Fi or Cellular) is required only for:
• Subscription activation
• Accessing cloud storage
• Receiving updates
• Wireless printing (requires a local network such as Wi-Fi or mobile hotspot)

Your drawings always remain on your device unless you intentionally upload or share them.

7. What can I do if the app feels slow when opening large drawings?

For best performance when working with large or complex drawings, try the following:
• Close other apps running in the background
• Disable lineweight display if it’s not needed
• Turn off unused Snap types in the toolbar
• Use Zoom Extents or Zoom Window after loading large files to focus the view and improve interaction

These steps reduce rendering overhead and help ensure smooth interaction, especially on mobile devices.

8. Does Gestureit CAD upload my drawings to the cloud?

Only if you choose to.

Gestureit CAD supports:
• Local device storage
• Optional cloud storage (used only when you save/open files to/from supported cloud services)

There are no automatic uploads and no hidden syncing. Your files remain private and under your control.

9. How does editing work?

Gestureit® CAD combines two complementary editing modes that work together seamlessly:

1. Grip-Point Manipulation (GPM)
• Select an object to reveal grip points at key geometric locations
• Drag grip points directly on the drawing to reshape geometry in real time
• X, Y, and Z values are displayed and can be tapped for precise numeric entry
• Ideal for fast, intuitive adjustments

2. Guided Dialogs
• Touch an object, then tap the Edit (Pen) icon
• Modify exact parameters such as length, angle, radius, width, or height
• Step-by-step guidance ensures accuracy and control
• Ideal for precision edits and exact constraints

Both editing modes complement each other, allowing users to switch naturally between direct manipulation and precise numeric control.

10. Does Gestureit CAD support 3D wireframe editing?

Yes. Gestureit CAD supports 3D wireframe workflows for creating and editing geometry in three-dimensional space. These workflows are designed for mobile use and continue to evolve as part of ongoing development. These workflows use the same gesture-based interface as 2D editing, avoiding separate tools or modes.

11. How does Gestureit® CAD handle 3D wireframe geometry on mobile?

Gestureit® CAD performs 3D wireframe editing directly in model space. Camera and Orbit views affect how geometry is viewed, not how it is created or duplicated, ensuring predictable results and accurate geometry even when working across multiple planes.

12. How is 3D editing different from desktop CAD?

Gestureit® CAD focuses on 3D wireframe creation and editing optimized for mobile devices. Instead of complex 3D modeling commands, users work directly with geometry using touch gestures, grip points, and numeric input. This makes spatial editing practical and efficient on a mobile screen.

13. Which devices can use my subscription?

Your license is tied to your Google Account, not to a specific device.

You can use Gestureit CAD on:
• Any Android phone or tablet linked to your Google Account
• Multiple devices at the same time

14. Does Gestureit CAD support printing?

Yes. You can:
• Print wirelessly (Requires a local network such as Wi-Fi or mobile hotspot)
• Export print-ready PDFs

15. Are tutorials available in the app?

Yes. Gestureit CAD provides contextual hints and guidance directly within the interface. Long-pressing icons or tools reveals explanations without interrupting your workflow.

16. Will more features be added?

Yes. Gestureit CAD is actively developed, and future enhancements may include:
• Continued expansion of touch-based 3D wireframe workflows
• Expanded gesture-based editing workflows
• Performance and usability improvements across core tools
• Optional specialized editing packs for industry-specific workflows

Subscriptions automatically include new premium features when released. Some future features or editing packs may be offered as optional add-ons and are not included in the standard subscription unless explicitly stated.

17. Why do some tools say “Coming Soon”?

Some tools and workflows are actively under development and will be included in future updates. Gestureit® CAD is continuously evolving, and subscription users automatically receive new premium features as they are released — with no additional cost.

18. Who uses Gestureit CAD?

Gestureit CAD is used by engineers, architects, designers, contractors, students, field professionals, and anyone who needs reliable CAD viewing and editing on the go.

19. Does Gestureit CAD collect personal data?

Gestureit CAD does not collect or store personal identity information such as your name, email address, contacts, location, or personal files.

Your drawings remain stored locally on your device and are never uploaded or transmitted unless you explicitly choose to export or share them.

Technical data required for app distribution, licensing verification, and crash reporting may be processed by Google Play and Google Firebase under Google’s privacy policy. Gestureit does not receive or store personal identity information from these services.

20. How is Gestureit CAD different from other mobile CAD apps?

Gestureit CAD stands out through:
• A patented, gesture-based, mobile-first editing experience
• Touch-based 3D wireframe editing
• True offline capability
• User-controlled cloud access
• Multi-device use through a single Google Account
• Fast, intuitive editing without command complexity

It is designed to deliver professional CAD precision through an interface optimized for mobile devices.

21. Can I cancel my subscription anytime?

Yes. Subscriptions can be managed or canceled directly through your Google Play account settings. You retain access until the end of the current billing period.
