TouchDraw 2 is a vector drawing application for the Mac. Since 2010, TouchDraw has been giving users everything they need to create structured 2D vector graphics such as flow charts, graphs, diagrams, illustrations, logos and floor plans just to name a few. What's new and notable in TouchDraw 2 compared to TouchDraw 1? * Dark mode support * Isometric grids * Modernized user interface * Unit of measurement aware text entry * New “Selection as group” mode * Quick sketch tool w/ shape recognition * Much more...
Developer makes the difference.
Very few pieces of software have a developer that listens and adjusts based on feedback. Most have auto responses or it just goes into a black hole, but not Elevnworks LLC. TouchDraw 2 is the closest to Visio that you can get on the Mac and with Apple moving to ARM64, it is a challange to continue to use VIso going forward. TouchDraw 2 is that replacement.
Lots of little issues
Just some basic things like the following two issues: 1) When dragging a shape that has a stated diminsion, it does not go with the page scale. A 3 ft door dragged onto a page that is set to 10ft per 1in, should not end up being 71ft. 2) Almost all lines/shapes have a rotation lock using shift but not the measurement line. You can draw a perfectly horizontal line with the shift key but if you want to add a measuring line to it, nope, the shift key doesn't work. Although this is very similar to Visio, as a long time user of Visio, these little annouyances makes me wish I had not gotten a Silicon Mac Studio where I cannot run a VM with Windows and Visio. UPDATE: With the quick response from the developer, I have to raise the rating from 2 to 4. Even if these little issues aren't resolved to my satisfaction, a developer who is very active and cares about all their customers is sometimes more important than the minor issues. If the stencil issue gets resolved, I will probably change this to 5 stars.

Fits my needs very well
I was using version 1 when i discovered version 2 which was a nice fit for me. I move my drawings back and forth from iMac to iPad and find that for the simple wood shop project i am building that it has help alot in getting things to fit. This program lets me develop my ideas and implement the simple poject with greater confidence.
Great App
I used version 1 for years. TouchDraw 2 brings welcomed improvements. I have used this app to design simple flow charts to complex architectures. This is one of my key goto apps.
Great update!
I've been a long time user of TouchDraw, and it's great that TouchDraw 2 for Mac is finally released.
* Fixed a performance issue handling paths with a large number of points (10,000+) * Fixed an issue loading an iDraw/Graphic drawing where FillColor is not specified in the file.
