AutoCAD mobile is being used to view, edit, and amend drawings (simple edits) on the go. It is most useful when you need to reach out to the needed information outside of the office environment, in construction sites let's say or wherever you don't have easy access to the working station remotely or physically.
  • Viewing of DWG files on the go.
  • Editing files on the go.
  • Sharing edited files through different channels.
  • Lite version should be available for lower end devices.
  • Editing drawings is a complex and time consuming task (even simple edits).
  • Finding drawings on the mobile is a hassle.
AutoCAD mobile is best suitable to fetch information and access details whenever needed. If AutoCAD mobile is used on a tablet or high end device a lot of features can be utilized in addition to the basic viewing and editing. Although there are free alternatives to AutoCAD mobile these alternatives are usually laggy and full of bugs.

  • Time spent on solving issues in site is reduced.
  • Lowering the amount of site RFI's.
  • Cost to utility ratio should be further examined before making the purchase decision.
Although there are lots of alternatives to AutoCAD mobile on the Google play store and the app store, many of these alternatives are not professionally developed and are associated with shady developers. So there might be a privacy or security risk with the usage these alternatives. However, DWG FastView is a worthy competing alternative.

The platform that I use helps me to improve and train me right from the work options to deepen the precision of the decision making in the different projects that I accompany as an analyst in my institution. Due to its versatility and use, I can work very comfortably in the designs of plans, sketches, installations and social designs.
  • 3D modeling particularly impresses me. They are the best in the market and continue evolving about this very versatile technological platform.
  • Dynamic and innovative to develop plans and projects in the city, in the field, individually and in groups.
  • Useful to employ and train students and teachers, as well as organizations that have to do with the design of complex structures.
  • Integrate an interface as a guide or tutorial in the design.
  • Provide tools with better and more updated designs.
  • Allow access to downloads of images that adapt to the virtual platform.
  • Integrate the design with the environment or geographical space
AutoCAD 360 has multiple functionalities that adapt to circumstantial conditions. It has a focus on available tools at all times and deserves to be updated to be at the forefront of technological platforms. It is very useful in some aspects of functionality to have access to less dense and capable tools to develop environments and improve visualization.

  • Skills applied to the revision of finished products in the consolidation of avant-garde projects.
  • Innovation and real-time evolution of Autocad 360, is potentially adaptable in any scenario you want to use.
  • Better management and administration of designs and projects.
I selected AutoCAD 360 because I had no idea how to work on in-house designs, plans, and geographic spaces. I invested part of the time in this innovative tool and I keep using it to have a clear idea of the materials that I should use in the different projects that I evaluate.

AutoCAD 360 is being used by our organization to allow for drafters to sync their projects online to be able to compose, edit, and revise drawing files from multiple locations on different computers. All of our drafters across the entire organization utilize this functionality. It solves the problem of storing files locally on individual computers.
  • Allows our entire design team to share and review information graphically in one location (cloud-based).
  • Has the capability to fluidly interact with many other Autodesk software products.
  • Being able to use AutoCAD 360 on the iPad is a great feature without having to install the software.
  • The autoCAD commands are different on the iPad.
  • The price is high.
  • Does not sync to Windows folders.
We utilize the software for remote access to our projects. It has come in the handiest when an unexpected issue arises and we don't have the right project files on our laptop. We can easily access our information from the cloud. If you need to download/print to a PDF file, this software is not able to do this.

  • This software has a high cost. Should be included with the desktop version.
  • Autodesk has done a great job of utilizing the cloud to help get jobs done. It helps a lot if you need to work remotely. It makes things much easier when you are working on a project and problems arise. These things have saved our company money.
  • It is really simple to set up and connect all your auto-desk tools. Thus, again, saving labor time for the company.
Although DraftSight is free and open source, AutoCAD 360 is better than DraftSight because more people use it. AutoCAD caters more to the "big" user base. It has a rather large learning curve though, however, there are many Youtube videos on explanations of how to use the commands and the many other functions.

AutoCad360 collaborating

Autocad 360 is very important to our organization. As a construction company we coordinate various works with other service companies like sheet rock suppliers, wood framing companies and furniture dealers. We upload our projects to the cloud which can be reviewed with an Ipad or an Iphone in a very quick fashion so we can easily coordinate all works. By using A360 we coordinate and share projects that are easily reviewed at any location without the use of papers.
  • Collaborating on projects with other companies
  • The ability to have all of your projects on the cloud and have easy access anywhere
  • It works as extra security for all of the data stored in the cloud
  • I don't find any cons because I see this as a extension of the actual autodesk software
  • It may be useful to have more creation features inside to be more independent from pc softwares , maybe adding some 3d features inside of it would be awesome
  • Have some editing and creation features similar to the BIM may be the next step for this
AutoCAD 360 is very well suited for visualization purposes. It is also useful if you need to make some adjustments or create new lines and basic areas and such, but to create a whole building project may be harder. A good workflow would be to create the project in CAD software and then upload it to collaborate.

  • We have less expenses on paper because we focus more on the digital side.
  • We have a centralized way to review drawings and to share comments and markups.
  • We can easily share info with clients, suppliers and sub-contractors.
to work on cloud we only use autodesk services

The basic skill required by anyone is viewing and navigation , only the architects have more skills on the creation side.
  • sharing projects
  • avoid printing needs
  • collaborating
  • the collaborating side has been an extremely usefull feature that we consider as innovative wich also is very quick
  • have it as the centralized control for sharing projects
This is so useful so we would like to keep renewing as Autocad 360 does. In fact we are very optimistic about the tools that come in every renewal because we will then have even more features available.

AutoCAD 360 is being used in our organization to promote collaboration between consultants on our projects. We can address discrepencies within the drawings between the trades and figure out where were we have the problem. It allows for a certain amount of accountability for each designer within the firm and as potential exterior consultants.
  • Collaboration between trades because of the ability to be posted on the cloud for coordination.
  • Ease of server, the cloud server is much easier to use with AutoCAD as multiple people can access it.
  • I think there is a little bit of lag when synchronizing to the cloud.
I think if you have one person designing all parts of the project, AutoCAD 360 is not necessary as you don't need multiple people pulling from the same file. However, if you are using multiple trades, people, and consultants using AutoCAD 360 allows one to easily coordinate drawings and provide a complete set of construction documents.
  • ROI is a bit low, because a lot of people are moving to Revit and BIM 360.
  • Not all consultants use CAD so it makes it hard for compatibility.
Revit is another step above CAD 360 as more information can be added as well as more consultants and third party designers are starting to move toward those programs. I think the cloud compatibility is headed in the right direction and Autodesk is always trying to make the collaboration a more integral part of design.
