About two weeks ago we told you that Autodesk will bring AutoCAD back to Mac after 18 years and they will also release a free iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch app. Well… AutoCAD WS is now live in the app store…
AutoCAD WS mobile app enables you to view and work with AutoCAD drawings directly on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. Using the touch and gesture interface of your iPad or iPhone you can accurately view, annotate, and revise drawings on the spot. Change the way you work in the field or on the road by reducing the need to carry around over-sized paper drawings.
