I've issued Dynamic Draw Professional.

[Masayuki Fukushiro]

Hello.
My name is Masayuki Fukushiro.
I had issued a free drawing tool 'Molip Draw 2.1' 5 years before.
Now I've issued Dynamic Draw Professional, a new version of Molip Draw.
Dynamic Draw Professional is completely free and really powerful tool.
The Japanese edition has been widely used in Japan.
Now English edition is available.
I've prepared some movies to explain what my tool can do, so you can
see them before installing the tool.
Anyway. Please come to my homepage and evaluate my tool.
I feel sad because nobody comes to my homepage.

My english might be strange and difficult to understand, sorry I don't
have a lot of experience writing English.

Masayuki - don't be sad any longer. The folks here love programmers that
put out quality freeware. I'll be testing it out myself later today or
tomorrow as will a lot of folks here.
Your English is not that bad and I'll wager I can run slower than you.
Best regards from Canada,

This looks like a very nice, capable program Masayuki.
Before downloading, can you tell me what formats it supports for EXPORT
of drawings please.

Brian

 

[Masayuki Fukushiro]

POKO, thank you for your kindness.
Before posting here, I've submit to some english download sites, but
they were refused.
I know it is difficult to list a newcomer's program for them, because
of cost, security, and some other reason.
But it really discouraged me that they've decided without installing
it.
So I am happy that you will try my program.
If you have any question, please tell me.

 

[Masayuki Fukushiro]

Thank you Brian.

Before downloading, can you tell me what formats it supports for EXPORT
of drawings please.

It can export as JPG, TIFF, PNG, EMF, WMF, PSD, BMP.
And you can paste in other applications as OLE object, EMF and WMF.
Soon I'll issue a plug-in for exporting and importing as SVG.
I add a new page in my website that explain about exporting and
importing.
Thank you for the advice.

Hi Masayuki

Don't worry, people will recommend it, because it is a very good
programme.

When I try to save a document as test.jpg I get a message that plugin
for jpg export is not available.

The formats I can export in are all special for this program.

How to export documents as jpg, bmp, etc..?

Thanks for issuing this program as freeware.

Masayuki,
Your English is fine. Just out of curiosity, which freeware sites did
you try to submit your program to? For instance, did Nonags and
Snapfiles turn you down?

Thank you !!
If you find something wrong in the program, let me know please.
I wish to know good news and bad news both.

When I try to save a document as test.jpg I get a message that plugin
for jpg export is not available.

Sorry, my explanation is not enough.
You can save with following steps.
1. Select the objects that you with to export.
2. Click [File] > [Export selected objects picture...].
3. Choose [Files of type] and input appropriate file name and push Save
button.

Thank you for your trying.

Aha, now I understand.

It works. Thanks.

Maybe this is explained in one of the many movies you have made, but I
didn't have time to watch them before I started testing the program.

Now when I know the program works I will take time to watch more of the
movies.

Thank you!
But, to tell the truth, I spend a long time to examine words.
For example, 'curiosity', I didn't know this word.
Anyway, my answer is, hmmmmm, I should keep it a secret.
I've submitted to two download sites. And the answer of the one site,
hurt me.
The answer of another was honest: 'We did not review it'.
I was not hurt by this. And he gave me a chance to ask why.
What I can say is,
The former is not included in what you listed.
Please do not ask about this any further.

<- I mean it with smile. Is it correct ?

Of cause, I know it is hard to find what you want by watching the
movies.
So if you have any question, don't hesitate to ask me please.
But, do not anger if I use something rude word.

Don't worry about that, lots of rude words in newsgroups.

Is it okay to distribute your program to other people,
via freeware web sites, for example?

 

[Masayuki Fukushiro]

Really ? It is same in japanese messageboard sites.

You mean that you kindly submit this program to some web sites ?
If you will, I say 'please! please!'.

Thank you Masayuki. I note the further instructions you have given for
exporting selected objects, and look forward to downloading and trying
your program.

Don't be discouraged by sites rejecting your work. Some sites operate
within their own guidelines. This can often mean that very good work is
not even considered, because of their often inappropriate criteria. But
be assured that good quality freeware always receives good reviews on
alt.comp.freeware.

Many thanks for offering your hard work as freeware.

It think it can be described as:

Vector graphics editor. Useful for making flowcharts, line drawings,
org charts, buttons, etc. Object-oriented drawing and design program.

Maybe you miss a description like this on the web site.
And in the descriptions of the program elsewhere.

Masayuki,

This is a nice program. It reminds me of Visio which costs about $200
for the standard version. When I saw your web site, it wasn't
immediately obvious to me that Dynamic Draw Professional is freeware.
I suggest you add the following to your web site:

Dynamic Draw Professional is distributed as freeware for business or
personal use. However if you want to redistribute Dynamic Draw
Professional, you need to get permission from the author. The download
is a self-extracting WinRAR file. The program is installed by running
the "SETUP.EXE" file that is in the "disk1" folder.

I like to add annotations to screen shots to make teaching aids for
using software. I was able to do this by opening my screen shot in a
graphics editor. I then drew a box around the screen shot and copied
it to the clip board. I opened Dynamic Draw and click on the paste
button. I was then able to overlay the various arrows and textboxes
onto the screen shot. I then used the procedure you posted previously
to save the images as a JPG file.

1) For future enhancements, you might add an option to "Export All
Objects Picture..." so that you don't have to select all the objects to
export.

2) It would be nice to add an option to insert an image from a file to
make creating annotations easier.

3) The shadow functions works a little differently that what I
expected. I was expecting a shadow to the right and bottom of the
object, not having it be transparent.

Masayuki,
If you don't want to tell me which sites refused to list your
program, that's your business. However, I can recommend that you submit
your program for review to both Snapfiles:

http://www.webattack.com/freeware/freeware.html

and Nonags:

http://www.nonags.com/

I can see no reason why they would not review AND list your program.

However if you want to redistribute Dynamic Draw
Professional, you need to get permission from the author.

Why do you want him to restrict the distribution instead of allowing
free distribution as so many other freeware authors do?

That can cause real problems some day in the future if the author loses
interest or loses his internet contact, and people want to keep on
recommending and distributing the program. If he follows your advice on
this point the value of the program as freeware is reduced, because it
becomes unsure if it will be available in the future.

By the way, he has already made this version of the program freely
distributable, but he shouldn't follow your advice for coming versions
either. It reduces its chances of being distributed and used.

If the author of Proxomitron had followed your silly advice that we
wouldn't be able to distribute Proxomitron and continue to use it
today.
(The author of Proxomitron died suddenly at only 36 years of age.)

You should ask him to consider making it open source instead, if you
going to get involved into his wishes at all, so others can continue
the development if he no longer can or wants to do it. That would make
the program live on forever.
