Viewing autocad help documentation on an iPad.

[DavidLofberg5147]

Is there a way to access the same help documentation you have access to from the program environment on a pc, on an iPad? I’m brushing up on Lisp coding, and want to view the full online documentation - what’s the best way to access this on an iPad? To be clear, I don’t want to use autocad on the iPad, I just want to view help documents. FYI even just trying to post this question on an iPad is very clunky, is the answer just to install the Autocad mobile app and access help from there?

I don't know what this have to do with ipad and mobile app,

but the AutoCADfor mac Documantation is a online resource,

so you can read the help like all other websites!?

Here is the link, check out the url to switch to another version.

AutoCADMOBILE is not desktop AutoCAD, it is a limited use cloud based CAD tool that also has its own limited unique paired down help files.

Which version of desktop AutoCAD help do you want to access online? Is that for Windows or MacOS? Most of the recent AutoCAD versions can be accessed in a webbrowser like this for plain AutoCAD2021 http://help.autodesk.com/view/ACD/2021/ENU/

Thanks for your response, yes that was what I did but the links didnt work and the tree views would not expand.

After your post I was showing someone the problem and it was a simple matter of restarting the ipad. Thanks for helping with such a simple thing.
