Free vector software for mac

Convert your DHW Files of your ACECAD DigiMemo to SVG vector files. Now start using your digital Notepad on a Mac!

VectorPen is ideal to create projects, notes, sketches and scribbles at school, university or your company. From now on your notes and sketches are scaleable to infinite size without loss of quality.

The aim behind all that: Vector graphics are small and highly flexibel. Now it makes sense to plot a small sketch and scale it up lossles for further use in advertisements, printing or other professional use.

Only smallest amounts of data are used. It is this flexibility which makes vector graphics especially in the webdevelopement very interesting in the future because they save loading time and precious memory.

So far it was only possible to process the sketches from the notepad as pixelgraphics (PDF, JPG, PNG, etc.). Therefore options of further processing were highly constricted.

Vector based sketches in contrast offer infinite options that nobody in the media and printing branch wants to miss anymore. They continue gaining Importance in future.

VectorDesigner 1.5.1 is known as a comprehensive and useful application for vector drawings, diagrams, illustrations. In addition, it is also good for raster image handling, filtering and color correction, offering everything users need to create professional level vector artwork, such as posters, brochures, stickers, logos, web design, t-shirts and more.

Major Features:

1. It features a wide range of tools and smart shapes: easily create rectangles, ovals, polygons, stars, bezier curves - even convert bitmap images to vector-based drawings thanks to VectorDesigner's automatic raster to vector conversion!
2. VectorDesigner even provides advanced tools for performing geometric operations, to achieve total control over your drawings (union, subtraction, intersection and exclusive-or operations)
3. Text can be constrained within a shape, or along a path - while still preserving the full text editing capabilities of Mac OS X!
4. Through the built-in Flickr browser, you can have a massive library of textures and images at your fingertips! Enhance your creations by searching images by color or tags, and insert them into your drawing with a single click.
5. Achieve unique effects by applying filters and Quartz compositions to your shapes and images - in a non-destructive way!
6. When printing color, printers use a different technology from that used by your display. Therefore, the colors that you see on screen may not accurately match what is printed. VectorDesigner solves the problem: by softproofing your document, you see on screen a very close representation of what you will get on paper.
