Now that most of you have already upgraded to AutoCAD WS 1.2, it’s time for us to think about the next release.
As always, we want to hear from you to find out exactly what functionality you want to see next in AutoCAD WS.
We know that AutoCAD WS for Android is the #1 most requested feature/upgrade we have received, but if we leave the platform aside we want to know what functionality you want to see most.

One of the editing upgrades we just added to the new release of AutoCAD WS (available now on the app Store) was the introduction of the Brush Tool in a variety of widths. To encourage you to explore and begin using this tool, I am posting five great ways you can save time with the new Brush tool:
That’s five great reasons for using the Brush tool, but perhaps the most important one of all is, unlike working on paper, with the new Brush tool you can always Undo any of your doodles or markups.
The new AutoCAD WS Brush tool combines the precision of CAD with the freehand creativity of our users. Let us know how you use the Brush tool.
We are proud to announce the second major upgrade to AutoCAD WS in less than three months. AutoCAD WS 1.2 is now available for download or on the App Store by clicking here.

The file manager in the AutoCAD WS mobile app is a simple display of the files in your online account. When you access AutoCAD WS through your PC or your Mac’s web browser you can add folders and move, rename or delete files. Any folders you create and changes that you make to your files will also show up in your mobile app.
Just point your PC or your Mac’s browser to www.autocadws.com and log in with the same email address and password that you use with your mobile device.
Click on Drawings to access the root directory of your AutoCAD WS account. From here you have access to some additional functionality that doesn’t exist in the mobile app.
New Folder
You can use the New Folder button to create and name new folders to organize your drawings any way you like.
Copy, Cut, Paste
Use the Copy, Cut and Paste functions to manage your online drawings. You can also move a file into a folder by clicking on it and dragging it over the folder you select.
Please note that you cannot copy drawings into a system folder like the one that holds your fonts. Also, you cannot move or copy a system folder.
You can access each of the commands to Copy, Cut or Paste by right clicking. For more information about right-clicking, check out this post from last week.
Delete
The Delete button in the AutoCAD WS web app is the only way to permanently delete files from your online account. Once you delete a file this way, you will not be able to access it again either through the web or the mobile app.
As with the other functions, you can select multiple files for deletion and you can also delete files by right-clicking and selecting Delete Selected.
View
Choose your preferred viewing mode from the available selection: Small Thumbnails, Large Thumbnails or List.
Rename
You can rename any file or folder by clicking on the file’s name in Thumbnail view or by right-clicking and selecting Rename Selected.
