Yoginathaswami Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 (edited) Aloha, I am wondering if we can get any insider information about VW iPad app?i.e. any consideration by NVW? Any plans? I really think it will be very good for NVW's business to create one before Autodesk. iPads and iPhones are hot selling items?catch the waves NVW before someone else rides on it! It will expose VW to more users. I was exchanging dwg files with one of our local electrical engineer. He actually never heard of VW?to my disappointment! From Autodesk's website: "AutoCAD WS mobile will be available soon. This free* mobile app will let you view, edit, and share DWG? files on your Apple? iPad, iPhone and iPod touch?."

dhruv Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I am sure we will have it someday. To begin with NVA could come out with a VW viewer. What i am thinking though is that...one could use the "AutoCAD WS mobile" with the dwg export import option with VW. Any one who has played with the ipad, realises that iPAD is the future of mainstream computing. i don't see making all drawing on the iPad though, but it could be excellent for taking drawing to construction sites.. making changes in the drawing at the site itself. Some conceptual design could be done vey well on the iPad. i am using "air display)" on the ipad to use it as a second monitor. I Put the navigation, object info, and resources palettes on it. I am sure all VW users will find it very useful. Quote Link to comment
Yoginathaswami Posted September 26, 2010 Author Share Posted September 26, 2010 Namaskar, Dhruv: You can find the VW2010 Viever here http://www.nemetschek.net/downloads/fundamentals/index.php I think viewing the drawings on job site would one of the best use. Quote Link to comment
J. Johnson Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Hi- I would love to have the ability to take the contractor for a spin around the 3d model of the building on-site to help elucidate details and design intent. Also, I think quick detail sketches and drawing markup would be great to have in an ipad app. In fact, I've already had contractors asking when I'm going to start distributing drawings sets in ipads... I think they just want the ipad. Perhaps this should be a wish list item? Quote Link to comment
gScott Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 if you're taking it to site you'll need a good sleeve to protect the screen. i've stuffed up many palm screens with the fine grit that hangs in the air on site. you can't see it at the time, but in a clean office environment you can sob over your torn up screen...

dhruv Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 i used to take my Pismo to the site. when i had started work. Actually it will be easier to protect something without a physical keypad. I would request other vectorworks users to put in their requests in this thread so that NVA can get an ipad app out ASAP.

Yoginathaswami Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 (edited) I just added my wish to the wish list. Perhaps, we all show more interest it will be taken seriously. Edited September 29, 2010 by Yoginathaswami Quote Link to comment
