In an attempt to help Android users with reviewing and redlining their DWF (Design Web Format) models on the go, Autodesk – the team behind the famous AutoCAD and DWG file editing, viewing and sharing tool, AutoCAD WS – has just released the official Design Review app to the Android Market. Using the app, you can now view your multi-sheet, 2D and 3D DWF models on the go, layer-by-layer, instantly switch to a preferred model view/perspective with a simple tap, add markups (callouts and text notes) to the designs, and easily explore every single portion of each model using simple zooming, panning and rotation controls. In addition, the app lets you access your Autodesk cloud content (for subscribed users only), and keeps a log of recently accessed documents. The app might be new to the Android Market, but its iOS variant has been around for quite some time now. Read More

With the previously reviewed AutoCAD WS app, we’ve already seen some effective ways of viewing, editing and sharing Computer Aided Design (CAD) files through an Android device. While said app is quite effective with most of its features, it currently lacks support for viewing designs in 3D. There are quite a few apps available in the Market that fill this void, but most of them are paid. Developed by IMSI Design, TurboViewer is a comprehensive multiple mode and file-type-supported, free CAD viewer for iOS and Android devices, that lets you explore your designs in 2D and 3D with high quality smooth rendering. The app sports multiple layout modes for your models, and lets you switch to a specific perspective view/angle of the design with a mere tap of a button. Not only can you explore models in full screen, but also use various simple gestures, such as rotate, zoom and pan (with multi-touch support) to explore objects in detail. Initially released as an iOS-exclusive app, TurboViewer has just recently arrived in the Android Market. Read More

The official client for AutoCAD - one of the most robust and widely used computer-aided designing and drafting software – was released for Android users a couple of months back.

However, Autodesk is very much aware of the needs and concerns of users, and hence has decided to update your favorite app with some much-needed features. AutoCAD WS for Android has recently been updated with some handy features. The updated version lets you make accurate designs on your device by specifying the exact parameters. The app now also allows layer management, area measurement, renaming duplicating and deleting your local / uploaded DWG files. Read More
