In honor of 4:20:2011, the much anticipated day Autodesk releases the AutoCAD WS mobile free for GoogleAndroid devices I am posting my Andy the Android DWG file. You know Andy right, the cute little little Green (ACI Color 70 or RGB 127,255,0) guy.
I just installed it on my WiFi Xoom. It seems to work really well and the performance seems to be very good. I was going to download the WS add-in, but I use MEP 2012, and I didn’t see a 2012 add-in available.
The program got a bit finicky when I accidentally hit the home button and tried to come back to the already running program, but other than that it seems quite good.
Just get that DWF support and some Design Review style markup capabilities and it’ll be an amazing tool for when I have to take drawings into the field.

Also, the “cloud” stuff really isn’t a popular approach with everyone I’ve talked to. This program should have the most simple option of opening files that are already on the mobile device, without relying on the web account.

You were first! Let me know what you think.

Thank you for the link. Interested to see what people think of the App as it has some features that the iOS version does not.

As far as I can tell, the only way to get a local file is to upload it to the server and then download it from the server through the device. There doesn’t appear to be a way to copy a file straight to the device and then just open it directly (i.e. there doesn’t appear to be any sort of file open option available).

Daniel,
Just email the DWG or store in a dropbox and you can open the DWG. The web client does allow for more features and organizing and syncing.

I’m running on a Motorola Droid X and when you leave the app it won’t reconnect, I have to use an app killer to kill the process then I starts right up the next time.
Is there any support for layers? On/Off/Make Active is all I’m looking for.
Looks great!
