I'd be willing to pay for another 1/2 license to use on the iPad for users who need access to some but maybe not the full feature set. Quote Link to comment

0 jamesrenegadedesign Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Agreed. I'd happily pay a bit extra for my subscription to be able to have my CAD files on my iPad and at least be able to perform basic tasks. When I look at many of the high end drawing apps available for the iPad this port should be possible. 1 Quote Link to comment

Not to trash the Nomad team, but it has a long ways to go to be useful for site work, construction admin, and useful AR compared to the competition. I’ve been hopeful of ipad VWX for a while. Some thoughts from a while back… Quote Link to comment

Some thoughts from a while back… If there is something in the works it could be called "Vectorworks - Director" for those who've outgrown their desk bound career as a Designer but don't think going back to paper should be the answer in this day and age. 1 Quote Link to comment
0 Don Seidel Posted June 28, 2022 Author Share Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) It would be handy if we could view a VW model on iPad WITHOUT any online connection or 3rd party software (.usdz or sim are not VW export options) Edited June 28, 2022 by Don Seidel 1 Quote Link to comment

I don't think that works either. Design takes place away from the desk as your responsibilities increase, it doesn't go away... unless you take on 100% admin roles within an organization.
