As we become more and more mobile and the Internet of Things (IoT) keeps us easily connected, mobile applications are becoming increasingly popular. Mobile computing power and faster wireless connectivity is allowing us to do more without the need for a PC.
With that in mind, here are a few of the currently available Autodesk mobile applications geared for the AEC industry with a short description of what they do.
AutoCAD Mobile – Create, view, edit and share DWG files through your mobile device. AutoCAD mobile is currently available on the App Store, Google Play and Windows Store. Non-Autodesk customers can create a user account to access existing drawings from email or via Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive. Full subscription customers can use existing Autodesk user credentials to access Premium Features and create new drawings through the mobile application.
