AutoCAD + iPad = iCADPAD

Once upon a time I worked at an architectural and engineering firm where we were always knee deep in Autodesk software. AutoCAD was, and is, the standard software package used and today’s official release of AutoCAD WS for iPad and the other iOS platforms made the retired cad monkey in me smile.

One of the holy grails of CAD is the ability to access, modify, and redline electronic drawings on the go. There were solutions that tried, *cough* DWF *cough*, but ultimately a plotted roll of drawings and a KOH-I-NOOR Rapidomatic* with red lead still did the majority of the work.

AutoCAD WS on the iPad may finally make the dreams of many architects and engineers come true.

*Still the only mechanical pencil I will use
