Autodesk Mobile Viewer

[Kanisha Marchant]

FreeDWG viewing including cloud files. 30-day trial to create and edit. Use familiar AutoCAD drafting tools online in a simplified interface, with no installation required. Bring teams together to review and edit CAD drawings via quick collaboration with AutoCAD users on designs.

Both apps allow users to view, edit, share, and create 2D CAD drawings. AutoCAD web app is accessed entirely online in a web browser on any computer. AutoCAD mobile app is included with AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT and provides similar features on iPhone and Android devices.

For stakeholders who only need file-viewing access, we offer free viewers without a subscription. If you're transitioning to named user, be sure to take advantage of the trade-in offers available to you.

Have you ever needed to access design and engineering data while on the jobsite or away from your workstation? The Autodesk Vault mobile app allows you to work with your vaulted design and engineering data on your mobile device anywhere, anytime.

The mobile app is a companion app to the Autodesk Vault desktop client; it does not replace the Vault desktop client. The application is available for iOS and Android devices and provides access to a subset of the functionality available in the desktop version of Autodesk Vault. With the app, you can view, search, and share vault data from your mobile devices, including engineering designs, documents, and other data.

In addition, the app includes collaboration tools that enable you to share and collaborate on Vault data with other team members. Many document consumers need to access vaulted data. Document consumers may not have a dedicated workstation to access vaulted data, so accessing the Vault on mobile devices makes it easier. You can use the app with your colleagues on the shop floor to collaborate on a design for manufacture or off-site with your customer for a design review.

The app helps you to create a new change order directly from your mobile device. You can add a record or attachment to the change order. You can securely track and control the data when away from your workstation.

Depending upon the entitlement, you may have full access to Vault mobile app or have only limited access to view files and data. If you have an active Vault Professional or Vault Office license and have an entitlement to the Vault mobile app, you can sign in with the Autodesk ID, access the Vault mobile app, and explore the full functionality.

The Search here only searches for objects specific to the environment that it is in. Select the Search Options icon in the search bar to access other types of search, such as advanced searches. You can multi-select files in your search to move, delete, or select/deselect all files in bulk.

In the app, on the TabBar, navigate to Items, CO, or Explorer environment and choose the file you want to work with. The mobile app allows you to search and navigate your Vault to work with your design data, BOM items, lifecycle states, and change orders on the go. Browse your design file structure to find the relevant files or attachments that document your design.

I was using ionic and angular to develop a mobile app that could display the pdf, image or dwg file within the forge viewer. It works all perfectly on the website monitor, but when I deploy the app in the ios phone and the android phone, I found out that if I open the dwg file and some image file, the app will crash sometimes. Btw, some extension is not supported by ios, such as pushpin extension. It seems that three js works not good in ios.

I also check the document about the "Create iPhone Apps Using Forge Viewer & React Native" in the forge viewer official website. After I follow the steps to build the app with native react and deploy it on my phone, pdf and image file works good but not for the dwg file.

I have experience building apps with ionic but not React Native. Compare to these two frameworks, which one should I pick? If I continue using the ionic framework if there is any way I could use to improve the performance of the forge viewer inside my app? or would it be better to switch to React Native?

For tech questions, how could I avoid the app crash and improve the performance? I checked the A360 app on the app store, I found out that the app is using the offline data, it will download all the data once it opens the file. Should I do the same way?App Viewer

As such I'd recommend to go with the framework you are more comfortable/experienced with - although RN seems to be blessed with a couple of samples but those do little more than scratch the surface when it comes to a real world solution so you can get up to speed with their approach and go from there.

Performance wise yes - downloading the derivatives (SVFs) to the client side would certainly improve load times - you can either see here and here to download, store/package locally and override request handling of WebView to load them (as Viewer only supports http(s) and not file or other protocols) , or cache the resources with Service Worker following here and here.

You can look around SO for other performance related questions - mostly they are about setting the memory options, correct FPS targets, consolidating geometry, selective loading and adjusting navigation options - for specific issues you can post another question or email forge.help at autodesk.com for assistance.
