๐ŸŽฏ 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

๐Ÿ“ 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

๐Ÿ“ฑ 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

๐Ÿ’ก 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.

โš™๏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

๐Ÿ” 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

๐Ÿงช 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

  1. Import Drawing: Load CAD export or scanned technical drawing
  2. Set Units: Switch to millimeters or inches as appropriate
  3. Add Critical Dimensions: Measure key features and tolerances
  4. Include Notes: Add text annotations for special requirements
  5. 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.

๐Ÿ—๏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)

๐Ÿ“ 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

๐Ÿ”ง 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

โœ… 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

Education & Training

Educators across STEM fields use ArrowPic to create engaging visual learning materials and assessment tools.

๐Ÿ“ Mathematics & Geometry

Application: Teaching measurement, geometric shapes, and angle relationships

Example: Annotate real-world photos to demonstrate geometric principles

Impact: Students see practical applications of mathematical concepts

๐Ÿ”ฌ Science Documentation

Application: Laboratory reports and experimental documentation

Example: Measure and label specimens, apparatus, or experimental results

Impact: Enhanced scientific communication and methodology

๐ŸŽ“ Technical Training

Application: Creating instructional materials for trade skills

Example: Annotate equipment photos with measurements and specifications

Impact: Clear visual guides for hands-on learning

๐Ÿ“š Educational Use Case: Geometry Class

Scenario: Teaching geometric shapes and measurements using real classroom objects

  1. Students photograph irregular classroom objects
  2. Use ArrowPic to trace polygonal approximations
  3. Use wireframe shapes (rectangle, rounded rectangle, circle, ellipse) to highlight and annotate specific areas
  4. Compare with theoretical calculations
  5. Export annotated images for portfolio documentation
