Access DWG on the fly!

Rating: 8 out of 10

June 21, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

Viewing of DWG files on the go.
Editing files on the go.
Sharing edited files through different channels.

Cons

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My organization is the company MCP 2010 Ingeniería C.A., where we elaborate civil engineering projects, in the branches of housing and buildings for our clients. In this sense, as we elaborate the different stages of design in each project, we hold meetings with our clients to show progress and share opinions on issues in which we have concerns. On these occasions we carry a portable computer with internet connection to discuss all the aspects related to the project, with AutoCAD 360. The main aspects that are discussed in this type of meetings are in the area of architecture the dimensions of the rooms and common areas. In the structure, the dimensions and materials of the columns and beams belonging to the building. In waterworks, the location and pressure of drinking water, the layout and limitations of wastewater and the location of the connections to the local urban network are considered. For electrical installations, the location with respect to the sanitary installations and the dimensions of the network, capacity and layout are detailed. All for the sake of our customers.

Pros

Download a file from my cloud storage site
The zoom in and zoom out tool
The cloud line type for further evaluation
The rotation function on 3D models
The displacement command for lines and blocks
The lines and polines drawing command

Cons

The select command sometimes is hard to do
The dimensions are not so easy
The main users are for IPad and there's no android based app

Likelihood to Recommend

As first scenario I think on a floor of a building and all aspects of it are shown, walls, doors, furniture, etc; for this scenario, the positive aspects of the AutoCAD 360 apply very favorably. As a second scenario, I propose the 3D model of the building and all possible views of it, with the urbanism, the positive aspects of the AutoCAD 360 work correctly. As a third scenario, I propose a design of water and electricity, with different heights in the layout and view of the plant, however the program will have problems in its execution

Great Cloud Drafting Platform

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

January 16, 2018

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

The autoCAD commands are different on the iPad.
The price is high.
Does not sync to Windows folders.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

AutoCad360 collaborating

Rating: 10 out of 10

Incentivized

October 11, 2017

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

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

Cons

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

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

AutoCAD 360, the next generation for standard collaboration

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

April 19, 2017

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

I think there is a little bit of lag when synchronizing to the cloud.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.
