The growing use of PDAs, tablet PCs, and electronic whiteboards has spurred the demand for better freehand-sketching programs that work with CAD, simulation, and animation applications. Why? Because freehand sketching provides a natural, efficient, and convenient way to visually represent ideas. It also mimics drawing with pen and paper, a big advantage over traditional window, icon, menu, and pointer GUIs. Users can use a freehand-sketching program with almost no training. Further, studies in cognitive science have shown that freehand sketching does not break users’ thought processes. The method is particularly useful in early stages of design where fluidity and ease of construction encourage creativity and the rapid exploration of ideas. For these reasons, we have developed a freehand-sketching program called FEAsy (FEA made easy) that transforms informal freehand drawings to structured representations. This process is generally termed “beautification.” Users create sketches in the program using any of a variety of devices that mimic the classic pen-and-paper approach, such as a Wacom Cintiq 21UX digitizer or a Microsoft Tablet PC SDK.
