Estalo CAD Viewer for Symbian 1.0

CAD (Computer Aided Design) conquered its space in projects areas in general, but there is a great discomfort in having to take blueprints and drawings printed or plotted for the field.

Estalo CAD Viewer for Symbian allows the visualization of projects in the own smartphone, eliminating the need to carry blueprints physically.

Polylines, rectangles, ellipses, layers, texts and notes are some of the entities read by the system. It is compatible with DXF/DWG files (2D).

This is just another application that amazes me, with all these cool applications our lovely phones becoming better and better day by day.

I've just tested in on my Nokia N93 with a pretty complex drawing of my new house and I was totally shocked that soft is capable to process is without problem, really didn't expected that it is aimed to process such a complex drawings, thumbs up guys ;)

The only bad part in whole story is the price of amazing 149.42 € but if you really need it is not that much at all.
