Paper Engineering On An iPad

 

Hi everyone!

I've been away for a while, but I wanted to share one of the ways I've been using the Apple iPad.

 

iPads are great tools for paper modeling.  Besides it’s size and portability, it can hold a great many models. In-fact,  I can hold all my automata models in it and call them up by a simple tap of the screen.  I do this using the free apps Dropbox and GoodReader.  Dropbox is a cloud based storage folder.  I have the program on my computer, iPad and phone.  Whatever file I drop in one device is synced to the others. I’m using GoodReader to download and store models on the iPad.  I can also send them to the printer.

Hi, John!

I'm really interested to know/understand how to manage the automata files into the iPads. Could you post some photos of this process to illustrate the idea? I mean, like a tutorial, it would be kind from you. Thanks for the attention.

It's Nice To Be Back

Thank you! It's nice to be back! I had a stressful job that was taking up a great deal of my time. I did't feel like doing too much of anything once I got home. And weekends became a time to recouperate. Life is no fun like that. But I'm doing pretty good now and it's time to get back to paper modeling. : )

Best Regards,
JohnW
