The free app works in conjunction with its companion cloud-based desktop product, Autodesk Fusion 360, a 3D CAD, CAM, and CAE tool for product design and development. The app supports more than 100 file formats including DWG, SLDPRT, IPT, IAM, CATPART,IGES, STEP, STL, making it easy to share designs with your team, clients, partners, and friends. With the Fusion 360 app, you have the flexibility to view, mark up, comment, and collaborate on your Fusion 360 CAD models anytime, anywhere. After communicating with Autodesk I can now state that one is still able to create the project on the old platform, so one can still use the BIM 360 App to view the files.įinally, the ACC platform has no app for this, only for sheets (in essence, printed drawings).Autodesk Fusion 360 for iPhone and iPad lets you collaborate on 3D designs with anyone inside or outside your company.


Now, while BIM 360 Field, BIM 360 Plan, and BIM 360 Glue are still available for activation, clearly the other modules seem to be on the new platform. Firstly, I know that BIM 360 has a phone app that can be used on old projects, but I tried to see if I could create a new project on the old platform. This leaves BIM 360 and ACC – both paid services. So, unless repeaters are used to ensure constant connectivity, this is not an option. However, it is found that, on losing connectivity, the model is lost and on reconnection, the entire model must be loaded again. The first suggestion would be to use the Autodesk Viewer. How does one have this capability going into the future? On large projects, one may use cellphone repeaters, but this is not always economically practical.

Plants during construction have a reputation for causing one to lose internet signals. He would download the file to walk around a plant during construction and then refer to the model. Can one view a 3D NWD file on an iPhone when one is not connected to the internet? Until recently a client had been using Autodesk A360 Drive, which is now retired.
