CAD at Your Fingertips

Interesting that the picture shows the technician using gloves????

Unless there is something out there I am not aware of for touch screens.

They make gloves that have conductive fingertips. There's even pens with conductive tips meant specifically for use on a phone or tablet

It may not be a candid photo, but the magazine photographer setting up the shot and pose.

The focus (no pun intended) is on drama and not reality. So, it doesn't have to or need to be technically correct, just look good to some editor's eye.

This is not all that new- my Palm Tungsten E2 has an app from years ago that could read and modify CAD drawings...

I had a palm tungsten. As far as palm is concerned, I said this before, they were just one step away from a tablet. Years before apple..

I have had AutoCAD on my Android for over a year now... works great in the field, able to view and modify any DWG/DXF. Not sure how this is just now making news...

I have AutoCAD WS on my iPad, is hard to actually implement it other then mark ups or referencing in the feild, probaly because of patch of transfering it back at the office as well as the funtionality limits.

The other week I did just downed loaded ForceEffect apps, This I think I would get more out of.
