Use Cases and Deployment Scope

AutoCAD 360 is used by a few of the students at the university. It permits for a lot of cross collaboration for work, and makes group work much more efficient rather than having to manually e-mail files or show someone their file on their laptop. AutoCAD 360 has completely removed the hassle of file sharing and allows immediate review of files among groups of people who need to immediately be reviewing their contents.

Pros and Cons

AutoCAD 360 is essentially like having AutoCAD in your web browser. You can view files that you need to see immediately and feel like you're in the program rather than having to go through the hassle of file share and waiting for the application to open.
AutoCAD 360 allows for easy organization of any and all files that you need to see
AutoCAD 360 acts as just one simple hub where you can share and view files, as well as communicate with others on files.

It'd be nice to be able to use AutoCAD 360 to leave comments on peoples files, such as being able to annotate a certain part of it and mark it for review, so then its author can look at the note and make necessary changes.

Return on Investment

AutoCAD 360 has saved a tremendous amount of time in file sharing and reviewing files. I know I'm getting repetitive, but having such a small convenience like this honestly saves so much time, and makes life so much easier.

Alternatives Considered

As far as I know, Solidworks doesn't really have any sort of software like this, and that is pretty much the other industry standard I like to use a lot. So there really isn't any other competition out there competing with AutoCAD 360 which is kind of unfortunate as having similar software for other programs would make life so much simpler

Other Software Used

AutoCAD, Fusion 360

Likelihood to Recommend

Anywhere where a lot of cross collaboration is required or a lot of team projects are done, AutoCAD 360 is tremendously helpful as the immediate transfer and review of files just makes life so much easier. Like removing the hassle of having to download files and then wait for AutoCAD to open isn't too bad and what not, but having the files available immediately when a colleague is done working on them, and being able to immediately review them in your web browser is absolutely incredible.

A small convenience, huge timesaver!
