AutoCAD 4+

Very very handy on-site tool

The app came packaged with my AutoCAD LT subscription and at first I didn’t bother using it, thinking I wouldn’t have much use for it. Doing the build of my own house I tried it so I could access the files while shopping for fixtures and realised very quickly how handy it is to find dimensions and zoom in on details.
It would be tricky on a phone to draw much of anything but as a reference tool, which I’m sure is it’s intended purpose, it is excellent! Saves taking a load of drawings with you when you can just access the file. It would be super handy to have on an iPad/tablet, an upgrade I may do in the near future. The app is an extremely handy addition to your AutoCAD subscription.

Great App

I tried the free version and saw it’s potential, paid for full app and very glad I did. Given I did a course on AutoCad 2000 some years ago and only use this for personal use on home projects, it is taking me a little to get used to it although it is very intuative and reasonably easy to navigate. I am very happy with my purchase.

Updated Version almost unusable

I was using this app about 18 months ago and it was great. I paid for another subscription and found many functions no longer worked correctly in the new version. The “Edit vertex” option has completely disappeared. You used to be able to specify the value of distance/length/position when modifying/moving things, but now it just lands where you drag it so it’s impossible to be accurate. The mirror object function has also disappeared. I have immediately canceled my subscription until the app is restored to full functionality.

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.

We realize that accuracy of input is an essential need for our customers and that is why our latest iOS release includes keypad, which allows more precise drawing. While drawing a line or a shape, tap on the keyboard icon (pen icon if you are using Apple pencil) next to a starting point 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 at feedback@autocadmobile.com
