I used to use this app a decent amount but they seem to removed features that no longer exists like editing DXF files and saving DXF files. And the interface change over time as kind of turned me off to this app.
The most unfriendly user experience ever. So frustrating to navigate. There's basically absolutely no explanation on how to use any of the functions. There is nothing simple or easy about this.
Unused to be able to switch in between my construction master pro, autocad and procore allowing efficiency. Now I switch between them and it re opens the app again which I then have to search for the dwg drawing and open again.
Absolutely baffling. I expected this to be stripped down but this is terrible. CANT import PDFs, A PAIN to imort even jpgs. instead of a toolbar you are given a command line to type in what you want to do. Are you tired of a flushed out interface that has been perfected for the last 30 years? well good news, we are bringing back DOS
Loaded twice and it still doesn't function. It locks up after the password is entered, and goes no further.
Hate how you have to create and account and THEN get presented with subscription options! £34.99 for premium and £69.99 for ultimate!
Doesn't work, tried multiple times to draw two rectangles, same length. After putting the dimensions in 4 times, they were both still at different lengths. Waste of time and space.
Not able to view 3d drawings in shaded mode.....it can only view in wirefram mode.....its beter if u add visual style control too
I love AutoCAD and use it professionally, but this app is an unmitigated disaster. It is completely unusable. No matter what I try to do, I see the command line display the '*cancel' message. If I can't draw a simple polyline, this app serves no purpose. I understand a touchscreen app will not match the functionality of a desktop program, but very basic functions should work.
Don't give bad reviews because you don't know what you are doing. If you are not a professional, or are using this as you are going to school, then you should not give this a bad review. This CAD software is not like the others. It was one of the first CAD programs. If you don't understand how it works, don't use it. It's like solidworks where you draw then control the drawing with dims later, the dims are a simple reference later on. It's not super user friendly unless you have experience.
I was unable to sign in. Whenever i am trying to sign in a message pop up showing your browser doesn't support autodesk sign in.plzz help me
I like it, just one problem. I want the interface to turn sideways when I rotate my tablet, I think this should be a normal thing, if you could accommodate for this that would be great.
I love Fusion 360, and Autocad has always been good, but I didn't get that same experience with this app. Drawing is difficult. There's no way to switch from metric to imperial. Doesn't even show what unit it is to begin with. Dimensions aren't attached to the part and don't control the size (which is disappointing). I don't want to change dimensions each time I resize a part. There's a lot of control missing. Having control in designing is important.
Recently tried upgrading from the free version. I was going to go for the full year but decided just to do a month initially incase it was right for me, so glad I done this as I would have wasted a lot more money as they haven't upgraded me, still stuck on the free version. I've emailed them twice now with no response. Very disappointing.
Don't get this app. The damn thing starts with a page asking which version you'd like that doesn't have any prices attached to it. There's a free trial, but no idea how much I'll be paying when it renews. Obviously uninstalling right away, as soon as I figure out how to cancel the subscription, which they don't make easy. Absolute nightmare.
Hey great job. I have a few suggestions to make this app even better: 1- a scale (like the one you see on GPS, google maps...) As zooming in and out, the scale changes. That makes it more accurate for constructing inrerior spaces and more intricate designs. 2- on the Draw/Arc function to be able to drop a pin on where you would like to extend the arc. Currently it's always right on the middle, but some shapes bend near the edges, I have to draw 5 different lines to make that happen. Thanks!
For what I needed it for. It worked nicely. I did the trial version designing a TV Stand. Came out nicely. Was able to print too. Not sure what more the premium or ultimate versions offer. But. The trial version got done what I needed it to do. I'm not going to buy the premium, I'll get another app and try them all out.
The app WAS straight forward to use its after becoming much more complicated and frustrating since the latest update, the annotate is doing the complete opposite off what you are trying to do. The option of drawing in colour also seems to have disappeared so drawing has became more difficult to identify. Basically there was no need to update the app considering it got worse not better. If there is ever a decent update in the future it could also do with a update that includes more blocks etc.
Premium user review... Dont know what you guys did but a once amazing app has began to feel cheap and useless. Glitchy, horrible controls, snap is now a joke very sloppy and inaccurate, freezes on all platforms. Shame, no longer feels worth the subscription it doesnt feel professional anymore. You may want to roll back a few updates less than a year ago it was awesome. Going to be looking at other options.
oh boy so many things wrong with this. command doesn't start typing with keyboard like PC unless you tap the textbox, cannot enter dimensions with keyboard, COMPLETELY ignores the enter button (you need to tap), Return button closes the drawing instead of canceling a popup. Don't bother downloading this. If you want to work on your android device, remote login into a PC with it. Your workflow will be faster even with a bad network connection
Glad that Autodesk has "woken up" in many ways. It has become more useful than it has ever been in the past. Practical usage points. Keep up the good work. I no longer have to download other apps for annotation and quick reviews of traditional CAD plans. You still need a subscription to really use it though. There should be unlocked basic functions as one-time payment. Too greedy. Autodesk reached out. I shall email them my ideas.
Fair at best. Should be called AutoCrash. Buggy as hell. Needs some serious attention. Closes out while in use. Things disappear when you're moving them, then magically reappear. If you try to edit an annotation it will disappear completely and you have to do it over again until you find out how to force it to do what it's supposed to. For such a big name program they're failing, while they're asking you to upgrade. As it is now, why would anyone upgrade? Not worth it.
I have a customer who decided to update this app and since installing the update is unable to use it. The app was removed but now can't be found in the App Store to allow reinstall. A search on Google will locate the app but a message "device is not compatible" appears. It worked perfectly only 4 days ago and nothing has changed on the tablet. Impossible to get proper support.
The app is usefull. When you lazy about carry your pc, its great way to do tour works on mobile.Even if you have tablet, things get much more easier. But they should add much more commands which is available on pc version. While i'm working on CAD, sometimes i can not find what i wanted to use. Despite that fact everything is okay.
You can't adjust things by dimensioning and you can't adjust the size of an object by typing in Dimensions after you initially make it means you have to do a lot of things by guesswork and eyeballing. This is not acceptable for CAD work. I cannot believe AutoCAD would put out something so fundamentally flawed. Hopefully they will fix it soon because their competition is blowing them out of the water.
Deceptive thieves! They don't tell you before they get your email and information that you have to pay big money to use this app!
This app is great and has really assisted in this time when schools have transitioned to online learning. However, I do believe that this app can be improved if more basic options are activated. For example, object properties should be made editable so that necessary edits can be made including length, angle, etc, Polar needs to be separate from the ortho button so that specific angles can be chosen. Object snap settings could also be activated so that isometric snap can be activated.
6 email addresses blocked from autodesk contact. Just about the 100 plus fixed schematics.
Geting wrost day by day. Previously you can start/edit drawing easily, features are good enough now they asking to upgrade to premium. New drawing option is disabled, and you can't edit it too. What is the use of app if you not allowing user to practice. Is it all about money?
