Many of our mobile app users leverage AutoCAD WS for on-site reviews. With that in mind, we’re looking at taking advantage of the unique capabilities that mobile devices offer, including leveraging the device's GPS feature to allow users to track their position and add notes and markups to specific locations within a drawing. In addition we’ve also leveraged the camera that mobile devices offer, allowing users to take photos on site and add them to the drawing. Our most recent release also exemplifies how we’re leveraging the social web and associated communications to improve the design collaboration, review and approval process: Design Feed, a popular and powerful new tool in AutoCAD WS, allows users to post comments that are contextually linked to a specific location within the drawing, tag other colleagues or stakeholders to specific posts to notify them of changes or questions we have, and even add images to posts to provide more clarity or brainstorm  ideas. We’ve also integrated AutoCAD WS with the Autodesk 360 cloud-based products, enabling users to take advantage of all the powerful features that this platform has to offer. Ultimately we feel the cloud, social, and mobile provide the best opportunities to solve some of the most difficult problems our users face.
