ShortCAD drawings are saved as .ShortDWG files, but you can also save them in .dxf format so you can export your drawings to other vector-graphic editors. Also it allows rendering snapshots of your Pocket PC viewport to bitmaps of any size.
While your Pocket PC is small and slow, all of the "huge CAD" features of ShortCAD have been reworked to make them accessible and usable without mouse and keyboard.

Rendering performance of your Pocket PC allows viewing drawings of low and medium complexity. Even though, the rendering latencies that occur when using slow Pocket PC platforms, ShortCAD is capable of adding changes to the most complex drawings almost as fast as it goes with completely empty drawings. Your smart layer management may improve the productivity even on very detailed drawings by switching off unneeded layers. We always improve our renderer but adding new objects does not depend on it at all! It takes almost immediately even on dense and complex drawings thus you may quickly add handwritten notes on any displayable drawing.

Finger friendly command bar and minimalistic UI covers sophisticated CAD engine. ShortCAD fully supports classical approach to layers, blocks and text styles.

Drawing primitives like circles, arcs, lines, ellipses, traces, polylines and others behaves alike popular desktop CAD systems.

Four variants of snapping, 34 fonts (including CJK and Unicode fonts), 38 standard line types, configurable colors and width of lines and many other features collected all in one small application. You may ask why is ShortCAD. Here is an answer! ShortCAD is a pun on shortcut that means shorter route or smaller effort. Also it has a specific meaning: a file that contains only the location of another file in the computer. Gathering all meanings together will give you the answer: ShortCAD is a way to CAD and save hints and tips to your ideas with smallest effort while you are away from your workspace.

ShortCAD provides drawing by means of the following graphic entities:
- Straight lines.
- Poly-lines.
- Texts.
- Circles.
- Arcs.
- Ellipses and Elliptical arcs.
- Solids.
- Inserted Blocks.
- Traces.

Additional tools of ShortCAD allow to create the following drawing elements:
- Free lined figures.
- Rectangles.
- Chamfers.

ShortCAD allows modification drawing elements by means of:
- Moving.
- Scaling.
- Rotating.
- Changing line type, color, width, text style, layer and so on.
- Erasing.
- Setting insertion base point.

In idle state ShortCAD just displays a fragment of opened drawing and waits for a command from you. You can launch commands of ShortCAD by the following means:
- Selecting appropriate items in the Menu.
- Tapping appropriate icons in the Command Toolbar.
- Tapping appropriate icons in the Command Palette.

Each command of ShortCAD has it's own icon on the Command Palette.

Update Description:
v1.3 (15-12-2009):
The following bugs have been fixed:
- It was not possible to insert existing block with a name that contains "." (dot) in it's name. E.g. User has inserted "\My Documents\ShortCAD Symbols\Chair.Red.ShortDWG" In tis case the block was stored in the drawing as "Chair.Red" and any attempt to insert this block again failed.
- In previous versions of the LITE version: if user invoked a command (e.g. Copy objects) and did really nothing, then previous history record became lost. Now empty actions do not push oldest history records out.
- In a number of special cases the accuracy of object rendering was improved.
- Failed creation of objects by means of LUA functions like Create* in cases, when the BY_BLOCK_LINETYPE_NAME passed as the name of line type, attributing the object to create.
- In the commands like Zoom by Window and Create Rectangle the orthogonal snap makes no sense. Now this mode is not affecting entering rectangular pairs of points.
- The command Create->Polyline did work incorrectly when closing polylines by the menu Options->Close.
- Updating of blocks, which already were inserted in drawing, was not indicated appropriately. To see the updated insertions user had to provoke regenerating of the drawing view.

The following improvements were provided:
- Command Drawing->Create->Arcs->Center, Start, Angle was added.
- Suitable Folder Browser to navigate through the Symbol Libraries.
