iOS 7 has been released globally for 2 months. This new Apple mobile system has not only made a lot of improvements in its functions, but also redesigned the entire interface and icons, and abandoned the “materialization†that has been adhered to for many years. With a "flat" style, a large number of light, shadow, gradation, immersive, material, and texture are removed mercilessly, replaced by simple colors, abstract designs, flat icons, and fresh styles. Its purpose is to free users from heavy visual effects, allowing users to really focus on the content itself, rather than interface design, making the user's eyes easier.
The new system has brought about tremendous changes, although at the beginning of the release a large number of users complained that Apple's new design is not working well or lost the "Apple flavor"; on the other hand, iOS 7 upgrade rate in two months It has exceeded 75%, which fully demonstrates that this system and the flat style it represents are actually gaining market recognition. The functional upgrades and interface transformations brought about by system changes have also led to major application developers launching versions specifically for iOS 7, to address compatibility issues, while adapting to new interface styles, bringing users and new systems completely A consistent interface experience.
As a designer, is your CAD application really adapted to iOS 7? Today we will take a look at the first new CAD application that is really designed for iOS 7, and look at CAD Touch V1.3.
The first big thing about iOS 7: the new iOS 7 interface style
The first impression that iOS 7 gives users is that the interface is simple and there are no unnecessary modifications to reduce the interference of non-subject factors on user vision. This requires the app to be developed to be compatible with this interface system using development tools specific to iOS 7. Zhongwang CAD Touch was born under such an architecture, so it has a pure iOS 7 gene from the beginning. At present, some so-called "adaptive iOS 7" CAD applications simply modify the compatibility problem so that they can run normally in the new system. They do not really use the new interface architecture, and naturally cannot provide a new interface experience. It is a "pseudo-adaptation".

The second biggest point of iOS 7: redesigned flat icons
To match the flat interface, you must redesign the appropriate icons. Zhongwang CAD Touch and professional icon design partners have re-created this set of flat icons for iOS 7, which makes the icon more concise, the picture is more beautiful, the visual fatigue is smaller and the recognition is higher. Give users more fresh experience. In order to reduce the interference, simplify the interface elements, and even the original function name under the icon is removed. The translucent toolbar allows the user to see the contents of the occluded drawing. So look at whether a CAD application is really "iOS 7 dedicated", look at the interface and icons to know.

The third big point of iOS 7: the status bar integrated in the application interface
In the past iOS system, there was always a status bar at the top, which took up space and was incompatible with the interface style of each application itself. So many applications should either consider leaving the status bar in the design or just mask the status bar directly within the application. In order to make the status bar more user-friendly, Apple changed the status bar to transparent display in iOS 7, so that it is completely integrated with the application itself, that is, let the user understand the current system state, and does not occupy the interface space, but also The interface style of different applications is completely integrated, which is the "finishing touch" of the new system. Zhongwang CAD Touch also takes advantage of this transparent status bar, allowing applications to fill the entire screen, providing designers with every precious space. In contrast, other applications in order to solve the interface compatibility problem caused by the new status bar under iOS 7, just completely shield the status bar, so that users can not understand the system status at any time, it is too simple and rude. This detail is more representative of the developer's level of care.

In addition to the above points, the new system also has some changes that ordinary users don't necessarily understand. For example, iOS 7 updates the authorization for the hardware microphone. If the old version of the application requires a hardware microphone for recording, it is in the iOS 7 environment. Need to re-upgrade, otherwise it will not be available, which makes voice communication software such as Skype and WeChat encounter recording problems. It also caused the "smart voice" feature unique to the old version of CAD Touch to be used under iOS 7, because the new system is not authorized. The new version of Zhongwang CAD Touch also solves this problem perfectly by adapting the new system. Users can enjoy the function of recording annotation drawings directly on iPad or iPhone!
In general, Zhongwang CAD Touch V1.3 can be said to be the first CAD application that is completely compatible with iOS 7 system. It is fully compatible with the interface and icon style of the new system, and solves the compatibility problem under the new system. To give users a smoother and more consistent iOS 7 experience, with its pioneering rich cloud storage support and intelligent voice capabilities, as well as completely free DWG drawing viewing and preservation, it is definitely worth recommending to each designer's installed artifacts.
