Run away

I loved this program for the two decades roughly I’ve used it, it’s…I don’t know what changed…nothing works, simple functions(object snap)…I can import files, but specific information on that file can’t be saved, so the whole file can’t be saved…go learn Tekla…I’m old, this pig if is fading…go with newer, hopper, more relevant software…stay far away from Autodesk and Revit…please do not waste your time on an antiquated (I can’t say what I really feel)…think of antiquated and what that means…go far elsewhere…I beg you!

Muito ruim

Enquanto a versão para PC é muito boa, a versão para IPAD é a pior. Não da pra fazer nada.

Paid!

I searched for 100% free STL viewer and this came up. Is there not an app that you can just view the file for free, even for that you guys gotta charge? Wow…

Terrible

Wants your info before doing anything and then money. Do not buy

So sick of 2 form authentication

I need to remember a username, password and receive a text message to just to check that yup that wall dimension is 16’10” there are much lighter and faster CAD viewers, now if you want to draw a whole assed house I guess this might be better…

Backwards and unintuitive if you use CAD on a computer

This program is backward in the controls in most things I tried. It’s almost like the group who designed this never talked to the people who make the real AutoCAD software. Totally unintuitive, and a waste of time.

Exceptional

Ease of use

Changes to locally opened files vanishes

When I modify a .dwg file opened via “Files App”, its changes are not saved to the original file. Instead, a file of same name with “-1” suffix appears on the recent list on AutoCAD, which however, doesn’t open. So, all the changes are gone.

No admite imágenes

La última actualización NO ADMITE IMÁGENES, es ir hacia atrás, muy mal cambio. Ojalá no haber actualizado.

This would have been a fantastic and handy app for site engineers that needed to do as built checks before concrete pours and other coordinates set out but it lacks the most important commands “ID” without this commands site engineers go for alternatives that are even inferior to AUTOCAD but equipped with ID command.

AutoDesk has lost the plot !

This is supposedly a useful little viewer … but opening it only displays adverts for a ‘free trial’ of a product that I neither want or need.
My only option was to sign-out of my account.

Burocracia chata demais

Menos de 1 mês que baixei pela primeira vez esse app e “sua versão do app está desatualizada”. Depois, logar na conta, código de confirmação por email etc etc. Orra, tudo isso sendo que só quero ver UMA SIMPLES PLANTA. Abro o arquivo e parece que estou rodando num iPad de 15 anos atrás tamanha a lerdeza.

Good but frustrating

I think this app needs lots of things to be as super as its name ..
I love AutoCAD/pc version but honestly i bought a Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse to use them with this app on iPad Pro 13” .. but I was filled with disappointment, there are a few things to do with a few commands.
Really I want the developers of this app to salvage the reputation of this great name.
Sincerely

Not a free viewer - requires a subscription

After searching the web the App Store link was listed as a def file viewer (free) - even reviews say it is free. It is not a free viewer.

100%

Eu uso a 8 anos e já fiz uns 100 projetos sem deixar nada a desejar.
Rodo ele no iPad Pro

Frustrating

Quite difficult to use. Can’t even get coordinates of points using this app.

Problemas al cargar referencias externas

Desde la última actualización del iOS, AutoCAD no permite cargar las referencias externas

文字化け

外出先で見るように入れましたが、文字が全部?になる

Useless

No tools bar. No customisation option. Very limited. Not recommended.

Utter pain

Firstly it’s expensive so you expect the best. Then when you do come to use it is always asking for password and code by text which is crazy frustrating when you want to look at something on site quickly. When you do actually draw something on it, it crashes without saving the work. Now deleted and subscription cancelled
