Autodesk Pushes CAD Data onto the Phone

Autodesk is entering the mobile internet – AutoCAD WS makes data from AutoCAD available worldwide via browser or app, so you can carry your drawings with you everywhere.

The new cloud-computing applications are based on data being stored and processed on the internet, while the end device – for example, an Android smartphone – displays only a representation of it. All edits are performed on the server.

AutoCAD WS is the already familiar “Butterfly,” which is now maturing from the beta stage into a fully fledged product. DWG data can thus be brought on the move to all kinds of mobile devices, such as iPhones, where it can be edited, displayed and transferred free of charge.
