Advanced computer-aided design software for smartphone users
AutoCAD 360 is a cloud-based computer-aided design (CAD) application that allows users to create, edit, and share 2D and 3D drawings on any device, including desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. It is a freemium app, with a basic subscription that includes essential CAD features and a paid subscription that adds advanced features and functionality.
What are the AutoCAD 360 features?
AutoCAD 360 offers a wide range of features that make it a powerful tool for creating, editing, and sharing CAD drawings. One of its key strengths is its ability to facilitate collaboration among multiple users.
With AutoCAD 360, users can share drawings with others via email, links, or cloud storage services, and they can also view, edit, and comment on drawings in real time. This makes it easy for teams to work together on projects, no matter where they are located.
Drawing creation and editing
AutoCAD 360 provides a wide range of tools for creating and editing drawings.
Object drawing tools include lines, circles, arcs, rectangles, polygons, and splines, allowing users to create complex objects by combining these shapes. Users can also extrude 2D shapes into 3D objects.
Object editing and manipulation tools enable users to move, copy, rotate, scale, and trim objects, as well as group and ungroup them, and create blocks and symbols for reuse.
Object snap tools, such as endpoint, midpoint, intersection, and tangent, help users draw and edit objects accurately.
Dimensioning and annotation tools allow users to add dimensions and other annotations to their drawings.
Collaboration
Sharing drawings with other users is easy with AutoCAD 360. Users can share drawings via email, links, or cloud storage services, and collaborate on drawings in real time. Version control automatically tracks changes to drawings, making it easy to revert to previous versions if necessary.
Cloud storage and access
Drawings are stored in the cloud with AutoCAD 360, allowing users to access them from anywhere with an internet connection.
Offline access is also available, enabling users to download drawings for offline viewing and editing.
Additional features
The standard and premium plans of AutoCAD 360 include 3D modeling features like extrusion, revolution, and sweeping, as well as the ability to import mesh files for 3D models.
Rendering features allow users to create realistic images and animations of their 3D models.
The premium plan includes simulation features that test design performance under real-world conditions, generative design features that explore a wide range of possibilities for innovative designs, and custom extensions that enable users to develop and install additional features and functionality.
Perfect for any designer
AutoCAD 360 is like a designer's wrench. It can be used in almost every profession involving drawing.
Some common use cases for the software include creating and editing CAD drawings for product design, engineering, and architecture; reviewing and approving drawings with collaborators and clients; redlining and markup to communicate changes and feedback; and creating as-built documentation and other on-site documentation.
