Initially it will be a viewer, then markup capabilities....

... then editing?

I'm curious to see how it affects the custom software market, it's hard to imagine a browser experience competing with software running locally.

Hopefully it's a useful tool for those in the field.

At one time I would have agreed with you. :)

Pai seems bound and determined to ensure that the US has 3rd world internet infrastructure, and that an increasing amount of money ends up in Verizon's account for providing less service....

I cannot see editing AutoCAD files in the field. PDF's sure but actually editing the cad file...skeptical

cadtag:
If there's sufficient bandwidth/speed... why not?  whether you work on files stored on a LAN, a WAN, or local disk, the actual editing is happening on an in-memory / locally cached copy of the actual dwg.  Only Saves write back to the original.
