AutoDesk announced recently that they will provide a new version for AutoCAD, the most known CAD software available worldwide, which will include support, for the first time, to Mac users but also will be available for iPad and iPhone users.
CAD software is well-known in the professional life for designers, architects and engineers since it provides almost anything they need for a proper 2D or 3D design. AutoDesk in their 18 years existence has been avoiding, surprisingly for some, the Mac world; but fortunately for those professional or just geek AutoCAD lovers, they have new possibilities.
AutoCAD WS, as for Windows, the Mac version will be paid; but for iPad or iPhone users the application will be available for free, with some limitations of course.
Here are some of the features:
Open your DWG drawings for viewing, markup and editing.
AutoCAD WS mobile application supports Xrefs and image underlays, with Multi-Touch™ zoom and pan.
Tap objects to select, then move, rotate, and scale objects.
All edits are captured and stored in your online workspace, so your drawings are always up to date.
Share drawings with others through your iPad, iPhone, or iPod device. If other people are editing a drawing simultaneously with you, you’ll see their edits in real time.

The new division inside Mobile’s, is called MGS Mobile Gaming. And they are already were looking for professionals; and since they’ve already found it, we can only imagine that this area will be online ASAP. No time to waste.
