Autocad mobile plot to PDF

[Anonymous]

I just got the update today, and after installing it, I can't find the way to plot the dwg file to pdf. I like to mail it to my customers, or to myself and print it. Can anyone help me how to do so? With the former version, I could plot it to PDF and mail it so I could print it. If I can't print the files, Autodesk isn't usefull for me as I make my drawings on it and send it to my customers.

I would be really dissapointed if this was left out, as I just renewed my subscription for a year.

Too bad the ´arrows´ are gone too, I use to use them a lot to put measurements on my drawings. But i van adapt to not using those any more. Maybe I haven't found it up till now.

Not an option. Find another software solution until it becomes available again.

Nope, there is nothing we end users can do about it.

Yep, the Autodesk guy will reply at some point to tell you it's not there either and offer no timeline to put it back.

Hello @Anonymous 

Welcome to the AutoCAD mobile forum. 

I understand your situation and that it is frustrating for you. Let me add some information to the post above:

The topic came up in the past also in the following two posts: "Plot to PDF" & "iPad Pro can not export and share as a pdf". I will add the core information for you below:

• Background: The background is, as documented in "AutoCAD mobile app updates" (please find more information in the link): The AutoCAD mobile app is upgrading to a more robust experience with improved graphics and functionality that more closely resemble the desktop version of AutoCAD. You can still design and create drawings anytime and anywhere.
• Timeline: Currently there is known time line until the functionality will be available in the app again.

I am happy to provide three alternative steps that might work for you:

1. Plot to PDF via AutoCAD web app

Check if you have access to the AutoCAD web app (web.autocad.com), upload the file there and plot it to PDF as shown in the screenshot below.

The app also has a share functionality if needed.

2. Forwarding the DWG itself

Please check if forwarding the drawing itself instead of the PDF might be an option for you. To to this, please follow the steps below

a) Select the following icon to forward the drawing

 b) Choose an application to forward the file

3. Forwarding access to the file

To forward access to the file, download the DWG file to your pc and upload it to the Autodesk Viewer (viewer.autodesk.com). Once the file is uploaded you can copy the link to the file and share it with other colleagues or companies.
