AutoCAD WS gets momentum

More than 2 million users have already downloaded the free mobile (or web-based) version of AutoCAD. AutoCAD WS for Apple iOS mobile devices and for AutoCAD WS Android phones and tablets can display, measure, edit, share and publish 2D DWG drawings - anywhere. The drawings are stored in the Autodesk cloud - they can be uploaded either manually or synchronized automatically through the "online" ribbon in AutoCAD 2012.

More about AutoCAD WS at www.autocadws.com

AutoCAD and LT 2012 for Mac

During the "DESIGN816" event held on Aug 16th, Autodesk has launched three new AutoCAD versions for Mac OS X Lion - AutoCAD 2012 for Mac, lower priced AutoCAD LT 2012 for Mac and a free native desktop version of AutoCAD WS for Mac. AutoCAD 2012 for Mac offers similar new functions as its Windows counterpart.

All 3 applications can be downloaded from Apple Mac Store.

Project Spark - Revit LT

Autodesk Project Spark is a new, limited version of the BIM application Autodesk Revit Architecture. This software may become "Revit LT" in future. Spark offers similar limitations as AutoCAD LT compared to the full AutoCAD - no rendering, no API, limited worksharing, no in-place families, no point-clouds, no design options, nor groups. Unlike AutoCAD LT, Spark supports full 3D. Spark is available as a free "technology preview" for Windows 32/64-bit.
