Vector Software for Drawing and Diagramming [duplicate]

Solution 1:

It may be difficult to get all features into one app but I'll suggest 5. They might have features in common but I'll highlight the ones you're asking about.

  • Artboard - Tablet support
  • Sketch - Imports/exports to SVG
  • Intaglio - Diagramming
  • iVinci - Converts from bitmap to vector
  • Pencil - Tablet support (mostly suited for animation and cartoons with bitmap and vector drawing, onion skinning, etc.)

All of them should allow

  • Editing any component easily after drawing it (layer support)
  • Easily add and edit text anywhere (vectorized text is a standard)
  • Exporting to PNG (also a standard)

I can't post more than 2 links but you'll find them easily on MacUpdate (all have trial downloads).

Solution 2:

For vector drawing, on both Mac and iPads, iDraw works extremely well. However, it is not for diagramming; no rubber band lines, etc.

From the features you looked for it supports:

  • editing existing shapes
  • adding text anywhere
  • SVG, PNG export (no maps though)
  • it has tablet support (
  • it can import other images into the drawing but can not vectorize raster images
