Who are you when you use AutoCAD WS?

In order to register an account at AutoCAD WS you need an email address and a password. If you’re anything like me, you probably have more than one email addresses that you use for different things.

You may have a work email address that you use exclusively for professional correspondence and a separate one that you use whenever you’re asked for an email address online. For example, I have a me@autodesk.com email address that I keep just for work and a me@yahoo.com one that I have had for over 10 years.

So which one did you use when you registered your AutoCAD WS account? In other words, is AutoCAD WS something that you use in and out of the office as part of your defined workflow or is it a fantastically useful program that you use by yourself to support your work?

Whatever you decided when you first registered your account, has that opinion changed?

Can I change my email address?

Not yet. Since we launched AutoCAD WS, your email address has been the unique ID for your account. For now, if you want to change your password, you can do so via the web app by clicking Edit Account.

PDF Support in AutoCAD WS

Since the last release AutoCAD WS now supports PDF files both on the web and in the mobile app.

You can upload, view, annotate and share PDFs in AutoCAD WS giving you access to all your designs in a single viewer wherever you are. Now there’s no need to open different files in different viewers. Nor is there any need to store them in different places.

When you view PDF files using the web app at www.autocadws.com, you can add objects, text, dimensions and use markups bringing your PDFs in line with the way you view and edit DWG designs. If your PDF runs over more than one page a navigation widget appears in AutoCAD WS to allow you to jump ahead to any point.

PDF Support in the Mobile App

The Android mobile app also fully supports PDFs with all the functionality of the web version.

For now the iOS mobile app only allows viewing and sharing of PDFs, but this will be updated at the next mobile release to bring it in line with the Android mobile app and the web app. There will be more news about this as we get closer to the release date.

Are there any aspects of PDF support you still think are missing from AutoCAD WS? Let us know in the comments section.
