With more than 1.5 billion.DWG files stored by our users, Dropbox has built one of the largest collaboration networks of AutoCAD design files in the world. To ensure the best experience possible for the many people using AutoCAD with Dropbox, we’re partnering with Autodesk to build deeper integrations and provide architecture, engineering, construction, and manufacturing professionals with new, innovative features. Available now: Dropbox app for AutoCAD desktop Starting today, professionals and teams can open project files stored in Dropbox and save back seamlessly to Dropbox without leaving the AutoCAD desktop application. Building on our in September, this new integration breaks down content silos, brings the latest files right into your AutoCAD workflows, and helps your team iterate and collaborate more efficiently. Coming soon: Native CAD previews on Dropbox As part of our continuing effort to provide rich native previews of files in Dropbox, we’re extending that support to AutoCAD, starting with.DWG files, by leveraging the Autodesk Forge developer platform. This will enable you to scroll through projects to identify, view, and comment on.DWG files directly within Dropbox.
Team members and clients will be able to view shared files even if they don’t have AutoCAD or Dropbox installed. We plan to offer CAD Previews in 2018 across select Dropbox subscription plans.
“Our technology partnership with Dropbox leverages Forge web services and delivers a seamless collaboration experience for our joint customers. This integration removes friction for our customers trying to access, review, and move data from task to task.”—Amy Bunszel, SVP Design & Creation Products at Autodesk.
Do more with your AutoCAD files, wherever you are Thanks to the new partnership, you’ll have access to your entire.DWG library stored in Dropbox across all your devices without needing to keep local copies or worry about staying in sync. You’ll be able to view or comment on the latest building design while out in the field without needing to rush back to your computer. Plus, with our support of.DWG previews in Dropbox, sharing CAD files will be a cinch, and your recipients will be able to view on any device without restrictions. “AutoCAD is one of the most widely used applications among architecture, engineering, construction and manufacturing professionals, and with more than 1.5 billion.DWG files stored in Dropbox, we’ve built one of the largest collaboration networks of Autodesk design files in the world,” said Billy Blau, Global Head of Business Development and Partnerships at Dropbox. “Dropbox brings teams together by making content collaboration simple and efficient.
Our technology partnership with Autodesk is an exciting step in delivering innovative features that our customers have been asking for.” Stay tuned for our enhanced file preview experience in 2018, along with additional developments and innovation from Dropbox and Autodesk.
Autodesk DWG TrueView 2017 is a free tool for viewing CAD files in DWG and DXF format. The program can also convert DWG files to formats suitable for earlier versions of Autocad. This might be useful if someone's sent you a file which you're trying to open in another CAD program which doesn't fully support the latest formats. This isn't a regular lightweight viewer; the download is over 600MB and a full installation needs approaching 1GB of hard drive space. But even if it takes a while, installation is at least easy, with no registration or other hassles. The interface looks intimidating, at least initially, its ribbon displaying a host of file handling, layer, measurement, snapping and other options.
But fortunately you don't have to understand most of that. Click Open, choose one or more files and they all open in tabs.
Click and drag to pan, and spin the mouse wheel to zoom in and out. Choose a surface on the 'ViewCube' (the navigation tool top-right) and click and drag to spin the model in 3D space.
Click 'DWG Convert' to save the file using an older version of the format. Use the Plot option to print your file, or Export to save it as a PDF. WhatsApp Messenger is the world's most popular instant messaging app for smartphones. You can use it to send and receive text and voice messages, photos, videos, even call your friends in other countries, and because it uses your phone's internet connection it might not cost you anything at all (depending on whether you'll pay data charges). It's easy to set up and use. There's no need to create and remember new account names or pins because it works with your phone number, and uses your regular address book to find and connect you with friends who use WhatsApp already.
You can talk one-to-one or in group chats, and because you're always logged in there's no way to miss messages. Even if your phone is turned off, WhatsApp will save your messages and display them as soon as you're back online.
There's plenty more (location sharing, contact exchange, message broadcasting) and the app is free for a year, currently $0.99/ year afterwards. What's New in Version 2.18.111. It’s now easier to start group voice and video calls. Just tap the call button in groups or select 'New group call' when starting a new call in the calls tab. Group calls support up to 4 participants.
