wscottbenson Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Regarding the use of the 360 mobile app: I am a site planner/landscape architect in need of displaying autocad site plans on my ipad/iphone. This is possible through 360, but the limit on file size and xrefs is not allowing me to get all of my info viewable. Also, I am in need of inserting aerial imagery so that I may be able to track my location on site via GPS. Any suggestions? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f700es Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Would the "Pro" version help you with the file size limit? It seems to go up to 40mb per file. I have not tried what you need so I can't commit on the aerial imag in the file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkmcswain Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Regarding the use of the 360 mobile app: ....the limit on file size and xrefs..... Can you elaborate on the limit on xrefs? What exactly does that mean? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wscottbenson Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 The file I want to use has multiple xrefs within it. When I download it through 360 on my apple device, nothing comes up. But if I block out some parts of the drawing then it will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f700es Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I think you have to have the pro version to use files with xrefs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I think you have to have the pro version to use files with xrefs.. It may be a matter of capacity. I just uploaded into AutoCAD360 (not Pro) two files, and when I opened one, the x-ref also appeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f700es Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Might be, I was only reading from the 360 site. I have not tried to open a file with an xref yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkmcswain Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) FYI. I just created a drawing with 6 xrefs, and uploaded all 7 drawings to 360. When I open the parent drawing in 360 on my mobile device, all the xrefs show up OK. This is not a pro account.

rkmcswain Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 And this was unexpected....... I have the drawing open in my mobile device, and I also have the same drawing open in 360 in a browser on my desktop...... Edits performed in the browser show up on the mobile device automatically is just a couple of seconds (and vice-versa, edits made on the mobile device show up in the browser) No refresh or anything needed either way.

wscottbenson Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 I didn't even think about putting in the xrefs on my dropbox. That makes total sense. What about image xrefs? anyone get that to work or is that a pro thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkmcswain Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 What about image xrefs? anyone get that to work or is that a pro thing? Yes, works with image references in the free version. Pro not required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
