Good day!
Can anyone point me in the right direction to finding any engineering and/or drafting software programs for the HP Ipaq pocket PC? I am trying to incorporate my new toy with the shop and my engineering dept.

Thanks for any leads......... Have a great day!
pocketcad (http://www.pocketcad.com/)is what I have. works decent but the screen is too small... I'd like to trade up to a tablet pc running acad...

As long as we're asking, how about for Palm OS? I've got a T3 & would love to have drawings on it too.

Note: I have moved this thread from the CWC forum. Just thought it would be better suited here.

Nothing for actually creating CAD on a Palm that I am aware of (not really practical anyway) but you can get a PDF viewer for the Palm OS. I tried this some time ago and found it rather awkward. By the time you got the drawing to the point where the resolution was acceptable the file became so large it was too slow on the Palm.
I'm with Melanie. Tablet PC, running Revit. The ability to click my way through a set of con docs is way too fun to imagine. (I need to ge tout more, I know) Beats carrying a roll of A0 sheets around a site. Now if only I could find a way to ensure that all my site visits happened on sunny days
