Tip of the Week: Creating a Superb presentation with AutoCAD WS!

We all know the importance of a good presentation, whether it's a presentation for your clients, colleagues, or even for your boss. Moreover, the way you present things is critical to your presentation success.
 
This is where AutoCAD WS comes into the picture – more than just impressing your audience, it's an essential tool for a presentation.
 
No more bringing your drawing prints to the meeting, all you need is your mobile device and AutoCAD WS installed – That's it, you're done. From this point, everything is up to your designs.
 
With AutoCAD WS you don't need to worry if you forgot a specific plot, every drawing you need is right there in your AutoCAD WS account. Your audience has some comments or feedback on your design? No problem. While you're presenting your drawing, you can easily use the markup tools, add cloud revision or text, measure distance and areas and more.
 
With AutoCAD WS, presenting your drawings was never easier. Why wouldn't you try it yourself? If you have an iOS or Android device, you're half way there already.

AutoCAD WS Success Stories

We love our customers and nothing excites us more than seeing  them doing amazing things with AutoCAD WS. We have taken the time to get to know them and now we have the pleasure of sharing their success stories with you. We chose to start with four customers, each one of them tells a unique story about how AutoCAD WS improved his daily work:

University of Cincinnati – Pompeii Archeological Research Project for exploring the ancient city.

Fitzroy Yachts – New Zealand’s Premier Super Yacht Builders.

Hall Engineering – Provides the electrical needs of the Specialty, Commercial, and Industrial customers throughout the Midwest since 1937.

Covert Engineering – Specializes in the design of commercial, industrial and institutional facilities.

In the near future we will add more success stories from various industries. If you have a story to share with us, you can write us at feedback@autocadws.com and maybe your story will be featured here as well.

We invite you to read the stories and will be glad to hear your thoughts.

What’s In The Next AutoCAD WS Release?

. With the start of AU 2011 in Las Vegas this week, we are thrilled to be able to announce some of the features we are planning to include in the next release. As usual we have been paying close attention to the requests we receive every day from our users. You are the people that continue to shape AutoCAD WS and determine the directions the app takes. It's still too early to tell you the date of release, but here are some of the features you can expect to be hearing more about in the coming weeks:

3D Support

Now you can view and share the 3-dimensional objects in your DWGs using AutoCAD WS. I have been following the development of the 3D viewing function for some time and the touch control in the mobile version is wonderfully intuitive and responsive. This has been one of our most demanded features and it's going to have a big impact.

GPS Integration

Now you can use the in-built GPS functionality of your mobile device to position yourself physically inside your design when you are out visiting a site. This is another much-requested feature that makes AutoCAD WS an even more vital tool for engineers and architects who need to get out into the field and take their designs with them.

Plot to Print from Mobile

In conjunction with registering for HP ePrint & Share, a free online service, you can send your designs to any compatible HP ePrint printer. Now you can use your smartphone or tablet to plot from wherever you are. Additionally you can plot your design directly as a PDF and send it to your email.
