GaugeMaster

GaugeMaster is the perfect solution to design radial gauge dials.

GaugeMaster is designed from the ground up to make radial dial design extremely easy with the interactiveness of gestures on the iPad.

Welcome to GaugeMaster!

With GaugeMaster you will discover that designing complex custom dial faces is now as easy as playing with your fingers.

Designing dial gauges with generic drawing programs, bitmap or vector based, can be extremely time consuming. Instead use your iPad to sketch or draw your gauge ideas quickly and effortlessly. You will not believe how easy GaugeMaster is compared to other solutions.

If you need to design simulator indicators, custom car dial panels, or engineering meter dials, get GaugeMaster now!

Unlimited Layers

Let your imagination run wild adding any number of layers to your designs. Give your designs that extra edge in complexity or simply use multiple layers to make your designs easier to handle.

GaugeMaster allows you to arrange model layers in any order you require to achieve multi-layer effects. Feel free as well to change color opacity on any layer to see through other layers.

Touch + Snap = Precision

There is no easier way to play and adjust dial designs than by using your fingers as if you were modeling them. Though finger gestures by nature are not exactly precise, GaugeMaster's snap options allow you to easily match values between different layers of a design, or snap values to preset amounts.

Whenever you adjust any of a layer's geometry parameters, GaugeMaster will let you know that it has been snapped to another layer's values, drawing a blue dashed line at the snapped position. You can even snap to the different division angles that compose some layers like the text arc or tick marks layers.

The Building Blocks: Arcs + Ticks + Text

The basic building blocks of GaugeMaster are the layer types. Currently there are three layer types that are the key elements to the vast majority of dial gauge designs: Color Arcs, Tick Marks Arcs, and Text Arcs.
Each layer type has its own specific features to allow you to design unique models or help you replicate existing concepts.
New layer types will eventually be added to GaugeMaster to give it even greater possibillities.

Tick Marks Magic

With GaugeMaster those pesky tick marks have just become really easy to handle. Add, remove, sort, and customize your tick marks designs to your heart's content with simple editing gestures common on the iOS environment. When modifying tick marks designs you will always know which ticks you are changing, they are clearly highlighted in red on the model.

Simple Edit Controls

GaugeMaster has three basic sets of gesture controls:

Dragging the green control spots you will modify angle based parameters of a layer.
Dragging the blue control spots you will modify radius based parameter of a layer.
Using the pinching gesture you can change the size of the entire model.
And finally, a single tap outside the model, but within the drawing area, will remove all controls so you can see a clean render of your model. Tapping again will return all the controls.

If you require more precise control over the geometry parameters of a layer, you always have the option of entering values directly on the parameter list.

Sample Needles

GaugeMaster includes nine sample needles to check or enhance your designs:

3 engineering sample needles.
3 aviation sample needles.
3 automotive sample needles.

Using these sample needles you will be able to check the visibility of your designs emulating the final gauge with a needle you can rotate freely. You can also enhance the look of your samples by including a needle to resemble the completed gauge.

Unlimited Undo*

GaugeMaster comes with unlimited undo/redo capabilities so you can experiment freely with your designs. All operations can be undone, so you can build a full model from scratch and review its building steps from start to finish.

* By default GaugeMaster is set to a 30 steps undo limit to preserve memory, but you can turn off this limit to have unlimited undo levels.
