Squiggle 4 was four programs in one. Each worth more than the price of admission. You would pay more for a "fast Red Lining Viewer". More for a  "Batch file plotter" . Where would you go to find a "vector to raster" converter that does plt, dxf , dwg and dwf? And of course an enhanced Squiggle!  Squiggle 5's ability to convert back to .dwg solves many of the plotting issues with the older version.

 We also have made life a bit easier by adding customizable Pen Templates so you can save those same pens and styles and apply them to other drawings, making your job more productive.

What Does Squiggle Do?

Squiggle lets you combine different Squiggle styles into one image. You control which "pens" get Squiggled! (The house in the middle is not Squiggled.)

How Does Squiggle Work?

Squiggle reads each file and allows the user to vary the width and/or color of each of up to 255 lines/pens and then to apply an unlimited number of "hand-drawn" styles to each line. Users can choose from 7 preset styles that range from "carefully sketched with a drafting pen" to "scribbled on the back of a napkin" and an unlimited number of easy-to-create custom styles. 

Each line is Squiggled independently and results are not precisely predictable--just like the human hand! Squiggle even lets you combine different Squiggle styles in one image. You control which "pens" get squiggled. Squiggled drawings can be sent to any Windows system printer, copied to the Windows Clipboard, or exported as raster, vector or pdf  files for import into other applications.

Who Needs Squiggle?

Architects, illustrators, ad designers, interior designers, urban planners, theatrical set designers, furniture manufacturers, mechanical designers, technical illustrators, industrial designers artists, and home hobbyists--all use Squiggle.
