AutoCAD WS Mobile App (iOS)

In 2010, Autodesk released their first AutoCAD mobile application AutoCAD WS. The mobile app allows registered users to “view, edit, and share” [3] their work wherever they go. The app can be downloaded for free from the App Store for iOS users or from the Amazon Appstore for Android users. A registered license is required to use the mobile app. Both the android and iOS versions allow users to save files online and offline when no internet connection is available [4].


Autodesk officially release their iOS mobile app in September of 2010 [5]. This was the start of their mobile application adventure. Since then the release has grown from just the iPhone to the iPod Touch, iPad, Android phones, and Android tablets [6]. The AutoCAD WS app has several of the desktop AutoCAD features, but is also limited too. The app provides the ability to draw lines, circles, and other various shapes. Text and comment boxes are supported features. Colors, Layers, and measurement are also included features found in the mobile app. The latest version, version 1.3, was released on August 17, 2011 and added the following features: unit typing, layer visibility, area measurement, and file management [3]. Both landscape and portrait modes are supported while using the app.


Autodesk announced that they would release their Android mobile app on April 20, 20011 [4]. The app is very similar to the iOS app with basically all the same features and abilities. The Android AutoCAD WS mobile app has some unique features not found in the iOS version. The Android App allows users to insert text or captions by voice commands instead of forcing them to manual input the text into the drawings [4]. This feature is not currently supported on the iOS mobile device.
