Easy CAD Software for Beginners

There are things worth taking a course for. Advanced calculus. Wine tasting. A new language. Mobile CAD shouldn't be one of them.

CAD software has a reputation for steep learning curves and manuals that take hours to get through. ArcSite avoids both. Open the app, draw your first line, and you're using it. New users can learn the basics in just a few minutes. Experienced users find the depth for unique workflows across fence, decks, gutters, pest control, foundation repair, turf, and more.

ArcSite was designed to be used on a tablet, in the field.

How ArcSite's Easy Mobile CAD Software Was Founded

ArcSite's founder, Pei Zhan, spent years as an AutoCAD developer before he built it. He watched contractors fight the same problem over and over: desktop CAD software built for an office, not a job site, with a learning curve that scared people off before they got anywhere.

ArcSite set out to fix that. They built a CAD program that runs on an iPad, made for the way contractors actually work — sketching a floor plan standing in a driveway, not sitting at a desk back at the office.

That's why beginners and licensed CAD veterans both end up choosing ArcSite.

What Makes ArcSite the Easiest Mobile CAD for Beginners?

A Simple, Clean Interface

ArcSite's interface looks like a blank sheet of paper on a table. The drawing stays in front of you. The toolbar stays out of the way. You get the features you need, with enough flexibility to adjust the details that matter. Nothing else competes for your attention.

You recognize the icons at a glance, and you won't need to memorize commands or hunt through menus. If you need a little more guidance, our team is happy to assist you to get your instance set up in a way that works for you.

Mobile and Portable

ArcSite runs on your tablet, so you do CAD work in the field instead of back at a desk. You stay in touch with the office without extra calls or emails.

From the job site, you can create designs, take photos, and mark up plans. Drawings sync to the cloud right away, so nobody waits on you to get back to the office. You enter data once, at the source, saving you valuable time per job.

Intuitive and Smart

Draw freehand on the screen with your finger or a stylus pen, the same way you'd draw with pencil and paper. ArcSite reads your drawing motions and turns them into precise lines and arcs. It skips the correction step other CAD tools require. You can  enter exact measurements by hand, so that your drawing is to scale.

Easy to Co-Edit, Share, and Export

You and your team edit the same drawing at the same time, inside the app. Sharing a file takes two taps from wherever you're standing.

You can send files to people outside your organization by email or text. You can also export to PDF, PNG, or DXF, depending on your needs.
