You can even work offline without an internet connection, taking your CAD drawings with you in the field and beyond.An ideal CAD app for architects, engineers, construction professionals, field technicians and contractors. Caddage, Should have made it like desktop version. Why change it?Whoever designed this app needs to understand that AutoCAD users weren’t born in 2000.
This app looks very elementary and isn’t the interface most users see on desktop. Why redesign it when experienced users already have had a palette from many years ago. It should have been more seamless transition from desktop to mobile. One of the key features that I am at a loss for is:Ability to type dimensions for line lengths and the use of standard key commands. Point and click is such a waste of time. For any experienced use of Autocad, typing commands from memory is faster than drawing lines. Once it compounds, one will know how much longer it takes to make a drawing.Also, I subscribed, but my Apple Pencil doesn’t even work based on the tutorials about freehand and editing dimensions.
None of that is on the paid version. And zero support. Unfortunate that it’s like any other generic drawing tool and not like the original desktop version, which one would think that is where you would would actually begin the design with and not start from scratch.I will try it out, but it is so slow to even just draw a floor plan. I can do it faster on a desktop version. Time is money for AutoCAD users and app developers don’t really think that this isn’t just a hobby app, it’s a working man’s app to make money and every second counts when drawing in AutoCAD because it is used by professionals, not hobbyists. Developer Response,Thanks for your feedback.We wanted to notify you that in the new version of the app, you need to select a tool, before starting drawing with Apple Pencil.We are currently working on improving Apple Pencil support within the app. We would appreciate it if you could let us know what are the functions that you are looking for when working with Apple Pencil?

What function do you need the most?Be aware that this is not a final version of the app, as we are working on improving it.

TheMightyCasper, Could use more functionality but it does work wellThere are a couple of things that I really need in my daily usage of this app on my iPad Pro. Being able to easily draw shapes with set dimensions entered via text entry (I thought that I used to be able to do this), and the ability to draw splines.
I have to switch back to my Mac in order to accomplish these two tasks and it seems like they should be easy to implement on the iPad. Having those two abilities would greatly increase my productivity.Another caveat is that I haven’t been able to select any objects recently with the Apple Pencil 2 - I have to select the object with my finger and then I can adjust the nodes/handles with the pencil from there.I still enjoy the program, I just find myself thinking that it could be a lot more useful with a few additions or tweaks. Developer Response,We are glad to inform you that our latest iOS release (version 4.4.34) includes keypad, which would allow accurate input. While drawing a line or a shape, tap on a value box to access the tool.Be aware that this is not a final version of the feature, as we are working on improving it.
Please help us make our app better and share your thoughts. ZKayak1, Frustrating at the momentIt is really frustrating at the moment since the tools I was using almost every day to annotate and make field notes have been disabled.
To me this was the main convenience when onsite with my iPad Pro. Really guys, was that necessary?
Do you really want me getting used to paper plans again? Adding to that, it seems the ortho function is gone although I notice something called snap tracking with a lot of angle settings. Could that be it? Problem is I am not smart enough to work it out and can’t find any online document to explain it. On the up side, it is great you can finally change layer color after creating one and it looks like lineweight options are on the way. One feature I would really love is to be able to freeze layer by picking a line or entity. That would be a huge convince when working with a lot of laters.
How about it guys? Developer Response,Thanks for your feedback.We are constantly reviewing our product in order to determine whether we are doing everything we can to achieve great result. Recently we have launched a new enhanced version of AutoCAD mobile app. We are aiming to provide a more robust experience with improved graphics and functionality that more closely resembles the desktop version of AutoCAD.
In order to do so, we have temporarily limited functionality of the latest release.All of our efforts are aimed at improving the new version, so we are constantly adding new features and are open to your feedback. We believe that we can do better if we had more insight in what you do and what your needs are. Tell us more about your work processes and place of AutoCAD mobile in it at [email protected].
This is the AutocAD ARCHITECTURE forum, for a product called AutoCAD ARCHITECTURE. Not AutoCAD as used by architects for architects to post in. So you are in the wrong forum. AutoCASD ARCHITECTURE is only Windows based at this time. Not what you have or run.2. AutoCAd has never had the ability to explode text except SHX through Express Tools (not an option in MAC) or with TTF fonts and WMF out and in (also not a MAC feature).3. AutoCAD/ARCH for Windows has access to an online store with goodies like FONTCAM: AutoCAD for MAC has no such ability to use much in the store for now, 3rd party developers don't seem to be interested.3.
AutoCAD for MAC has a dedicated forum, whether you are an architect or not, and where you need to post and seek help for MAC based AutoCAD software from Autodesk.
