84 pages so far and a LOT of repeat questions

Hey Lads and Lasses, I've been looking at the AutoCad Mobile Forum and it's over flowing with page after page of "It won't do this, it won't do that." kind of remarks.  A LOT of them have replies from people that come on here and help with the support side of things.  A LOT of those people are volunteering their services in order to make a program work better, develop what types of training people might need, that kind of thing.

 

Before you post a question, how about doing a key word search and seeing if it's been asked a lot of times before.  Believe me, when the good folks that are volunteering their time see the same question 50 times from 50 users, they're not going to sit there and copy/paste 50 replies.  They'll either find a fix or forward it on to the AutoDesk Development team.

 

Once you get a reply and it works, don't just move on and forget those folks are out there helping thousands of others.. Do a quick search on some key words that you used in your own post and see if anyone else has the same problem that you might be able to help them with.

 

I've found through years (I started on AutoCad 10) of using the AutoDesk products, they do their best to provide a decent support staff as well as volunteers such as yourselves.

Give a man AutoCad, and he'll draw you a floor plan.
Give a man Revit and he'll build you a house.
Give Cadmama a couple of drinks and she'll have everyone singing Rockytop!

AutoCADMOBILE is a work in progress. It's not ready for the real world as a true CAD program.

What else do you want to know or need help with?

AutoCad Mobile has been out for a few years and I think it's the best thing since pockets on a shirt.  Before this latest "update" I would take my tablet loaded with Acad Mobile out to clients houses and businesses and the bluetooth connectivity between my Disto and the Tablet was great.

 

But recently, when the latest AutoCad  MObile version came out, it wouldn't work on my 3 year old tablets.  I wish I never did upgrade.  Now I've gone out and bought a new tablet, installed AutoCad Mobile and I can't even find out how to draw a line, let alone take a shot with my disto.  

 

It looks like AutoDesk is focusing more on the AutoCad Web version, but I'll pass on that one.  There's still a lot of land here in the USA that doesn't have wi-fi (I know, hard to believe ain't it?)

 

So, anyway, if anyone has a decent tutorial on AutoCad Mobile, please drop me a note...

@Anonymous if you wish to take the time to recommend changes or additions, you can do so in the correct forum where Autodesk looks for feedback https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-mobile-ideas/idb-p/228

For Tutorials no one outside of Autodesk is wasting time with it as it changes often and regularly as it evolves: you are stuck with what Autodesk offers and what you might find on YouTube if it is not older than 3-6months from the day you look there.
