AutoCAD Helper App
AutoCAD is one of the best software for Computer-Aided Design (CAD). It is used for designing car parts, industrial equipment, and buildings. Engineers and designers use it regularly. AutoCAD 360 was created to add mobility to the AutoCAD software. The 360 version allows users to view design drafts on their mobile devices and make fast changes.
Application Features
The original AutoCAD software is a large software with an enormous footprint. It requires lots of computer power to run the complicated 3D algorithms.
AutoCAD 360 is designed for convenience. It means that only the basic functions are ported to this software. The user interface is simple to understand. It supports DWG file format. So you should be able to download any design you save in the DWG format. Once you download the design, you can inspect the objects using the move, rotate, and scale functions.
Mobility and collaboration are the main benefits of this app. The application has built-in support for cloud storage like Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox. You can send your design to your colleagues with the simple swipe. You can also add notes and make changes to the drawings. It’s a great way to annotate your design when you are onsite. It also works offline.
Conclusion
