AutoCAD for iOS: Viewing and Editing 2D DWG Drawings on Mobile Devices

AutoCAD is a free iOS app from Autodesk that provides access to core AutoCAD commands for viewing, light editing, and generating fundamental 2D designs on a mobile device. It is built around the DWG file format and uses a simplified interface that keeps familiar drafting tools available. The app requires iOS 17.0 or later, and the current version is 6.24.0. It is rated 4.4 out of 5 from 6,267 ratings.

Key Features

• 2D file viewing and editing: Open, view, create, edit, and share 2D DWG drawings.
• Drafting and geometry tools: Core drafting and geometry editing commands, block insertion from a DWG drawing, and management of layers and layer visibility.
• Annotation and markup: Annotation and markup tools, along with measurement of distance, angle, area, and radius.
• Coordinates and properties: View coordinates and object properties.
• Offline work: Edit projects without an internet connection and sync changes once the device is back online.
• Flexible file access: Open DWG files from internal storage, email, or cloud services, including Autodesk Drive, Autodesk Docs, Microsoft OneDrive, Box, Dropbox, and Google Drive.

Drawings can be stored in an Autodesk account or in external accounts. Real-time collaboration with team members is among the stated benefits, and the app is positioned as a way to replace paper blueprints at job sites with drawings on mobile. Its focus on core commands makes it suited to light editing and fundamental designs.
