Read only mode

Read only mode

It would be very useful to have a read only mode that doesn't consume a license. Similar to how the Vault ThinClient has a read only option.

I'm quite surprised by this being archived,

after less than 6 months and with 30 votes. Other ideas that were posted 2 years ago and only 8 votes is still "gathering support". Clearly there is a bigger demand for this idea than any other on this forum.

I think they archived this not because it's not possible but they think it would hurt their license sales.

Would this really hurt their profit margins?

I'd argue no. We want to give tablets to the technicians in the workshop so they can look at the drawings digitally rather than having to print them out on paper. They don't currently have licenses and they never will as it is far too expensive to use just to look at drawings. So Autodesk wouldn't be loosing out on sales of licenses.

Come on Autodesk, help companies be more environmentally friendly by not forcing them to waste paper and help them move into the digital age!
