Alright, took the plunge last night and started working through a diagram on the train coming in. I have a few thoughts/questions so far.
One thing that was cool was that I was able to easily email a previous desktop diagram to edit and view. Editing was a bit slow, but worked.
Questions:
- How do I label a line? Double tapping adds a midpoint, holding lets me select, copy, drag, etc. Even when I think I've added a label, I've only put text near the line.
- How can I select text within a shape to copy, cut, etc.? The select all, even when in typing mode, selects all the shapes.
- How do you use tables, and some of the more advanced features?
Bugs:
- Often when labeling a shape, or typing, the keyboard covers over what I'm typing. In fact, if working on the lower part of the diagram, this always seems to happen.
Wishes:
- Would love Dropbox support. Emailing back and forth isn't great, nor depending on syncing with just one machine via iTunes. (My iPad synced to home computer, not work computer, so sharing work documents is a pain)
- Text handling seems light. I'd love to be able to have a mini-outline mode to allow diagramming in meetings, with some note taking.
- Allow for a border in the canvas. I'd like to have a nice border of work space around my diagram when working. The auto size option works okay, but I'm not a fan of shapes right against the edge.
