Karela Draw

Karela Draw is a small CAD-type program with simple geometric drawing capabilities. Karela Draw is a small CAD-type software application with simple geometric drawing capabilities.

Other than the ability to doodle using the mouse, the program is keyboard-oriented. You can move using the arrow keys, drawing or erasing as you go. Not only can you move in a Cartesian manner (horizontally, vertically and diagonally), you can also set a pole and move around it in a polar manner (radially outward/inward, and angular clockwise/anti-clockwise). This gives you the ability to quickly draw line segments and arcs, the way you would with a ruler and compass - something that you cannot do in standard Paint-type applications.

You can draw lines, circles, rectangles, and regular and irregular polygons. Angles can be drawn and measured too. Most of these operations are performed simply by marking two points and then specifying the object to draw through these points. Enclosed areas can be filled with patterns. Basic block copying, moving and erasing operations are provided.

The program currently saves and loads images in its own .KDI format. But you can also export them to .BMP format to use your drawings in other applications.
