๐ฏ UI Spacing & Layout
Challenge: Communicating exact pixel spacing between UI elements
Solution: Annotate mockups with dimension lines showing margins, padding, and element sizes
Benefit: Developers get pixel-perfect specifications, reducing back-and-forth
๐ Design System Documentation
Challenge: Creating visual documentation for component libraries
Solution: Measure and label component dimensions, spacing rules, and proportions
Benefit: Consistent implementation across teams and projects
๐ฑ Responsive Breakpoints
Challenge: Showing how designs adapt across screen sizes
Solution: Annotate screenshots at different breakpoints with measurements
Benefit: Clear responsive design specifications for development
๐ก Designer Pro Tips
- Use pixel units (px) for web/app interfaces
- Export high-res JPEGs for design handoff documents
- Export high-res JPEGs for design handoff documents
- Use consistent color coding for different types of measurements
Engineering & Manufacturing
Engineers leverage ArrowPic for technical documentation, quality control, and manufacturing specifications.
โ๏ธ Technical Drawings
Challenge: Adding dimensions to CAD exports or scanned drawings
Solution: Measure critical dimensions, angles, and tolerances on engineering drawings
Benefit: Enhanced documentation for manufacturing and quality control
๐ Quality Inspection
Challenge: Documenting defects or variations in manufactured parts
Solution: Photograph parts and annotate with actual vs. specified measurements
Benefit: Clear quality reports with visual evidence
๐งช Research Documentation
Challenge: Measuring and documenting experimental results
Solution: Annotate microscopy images, test setups, or prototype photos
Benefit: Precise documentation for research papers and reports
Engineering Workflow Example
- Import Drawing: Load CAD export or scanned technical drawing
- Set Units: Switch to millimeters or inches as appropriate
- Add Critical Dimensions: Measure key features and tolerances
- Include Notes: Add text annotations for special requirements
- Export Documentation: Save high-quality JPEG for technical packages
Architecture & Construction
Architects and construction professionals use ArrowPic for plan review, space planning, and construction documentation.
๐๏ธ Construction Details
Challenge: Clarifying complex construction connections and dimensions
Solution: Annotate detail drawings with precise measurements and call-outs
Benefit: Reduced construction errors and RFIs (Requests for Information)
๐ Space Planning
Challenge: Verifying room dimensions and furniture layouts
Solution: Measure floor plans and furniture arrangements for code compliance
Benefit: Accurate space utilization and accessibility verification
๐ง Site Documentation
Challenge: Recording as-built conditions and field measurements
Solution: Photograph site conditions and add measurement annotations
Benefit: Clear documentation for change orders and progress reports
โ Architecture Best Practices
- Use metric units (mm/cm/m) for consistency with building codes
- Use wireframe shapes (rectangle, rounded rectangle, circle, ellipse) for space planning and area highlighting
- Add angle measurements for roof slopes and site grading
- Export to PDF workflows for inclusion in drawing sets
