AutoCAD: Mobile and Web Collaboration

Course details

One of the upsides of the subscription model that AutoCAD now uses is that you get the mobile and web options included with your subscription. These apps allow you to take your AutoCAD designs on the road with you, collaborating while working on site or on the road. In this course, Shaun Bryant teaches you how to use the mobile and web-based collaborative tools, conduct design reviews, and work with external references. He also shows how to capture field data on the go in the form of LIDAR scans on a mobile phone, and to bring those scans into AutoCAD. If you’re looking for the best ways to leverage these versions of AutoCAD, join Shaun as he takes you through the workflows and processes you may need to use AutoCAD for web and mobile collaboration.
