What?  You thought Autodesk was kidding when they said they’d be releasing a version of their software for iOS devices?  Well, AutoCAD WS just hit the App Store (free) for those who’d like to touch their CAD rather than use a mouse.

View, edit, and share your DWG™ files from anywhere, with anyone.

AutoCAD® WS mobile app enables you to view and work with AutoCAD drawings directly on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. Using the touch and gesture interface of your iPad or iPhone you can accurately view, annotate, and revise drawings on the spot. Change the way you work in the field or on the road by reducing the need to carry around over-sized paper drawings.
