0 Chris D Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 How useful is ANY format CAD drawing on a 3.5 inch screen? Now put VW Viewer on an iPAD or whatever they'll call a Newton replacement, then sure - great for meetings instead of lugging your laptop around. Especially with one of those micro projectors...[ this is more Fantasy List than Wish List... ;-) ] Quote Link to comment
0 Christiaan Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 Yeah, agreed, fantasy wishlist, especially with the current VectorWorks viewer being (I presume) a Carbon app. About the 3.5 inch screen, however, I think this is mitigated by the resolution and the ability to zoom in with the stroke of a finger. Imagine wandering about a site and being able to dip into your pocket and pull out your detail drawings, etc. I've seen an article somewhere about an ArchiCAD office using PDFs on an iPhone to do just this, which is another way to go (I think they actually viewed them online rather than directly on their iPhones). The beauty of having a VW viewer, however, is that you could throw on your work in progress drawings without having to PDF them. Quote Link to comment

0 islandmon Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Been doing this stuff via laptops for years ... why not via the iPhone ... or one of those Heads-up Display Helmets wore by fighter pilots ; ) Quote Link to comment
0 mollijori Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 If a Mac Plus with 8Mhz & 9" b/w screen could do 3D-CAD in the 80's, why couldn't a much more powerful iPhone/iPod Touch manage a plain VW Viewer? Quote Link to comment
0 RubenH Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I support this!!! VectorWorks iPhone Viewer: this is one of those things that make a difference in the market. Let's go NNA!! Quote Link to comment
0 gmm18 Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I want the helmet display... Quote Link to comment
0 Bryan G. Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I think this would be an invaluable tool in the field for quick adjustments and viewing a plan on the run. This would also be nice so my other designers could update a plan and I could see the changes realtime. This would make Mac not only a great design platform but excellent for Enterprise in the design markets, Total integration, GO GO GO! Quote Link to comment
