AutoCAD in the browser... here we go..

As cadtag indicates, good bandwidth and caching will be key.

Marking up a cad dwg in the field could be as simple as adding notes, which could certainly be useful in the field and the office. Working on a dwg instead of a PDF takes another layer of complexity out of the equation. Who knows where it will go from there. Back in the day we accessed email/communications through programs on a desktop computer. I've got friends and family members who only use a smart phone .

Google Earth is a good example, though it highlights the problem of bandwidth limiting user experience. The desktop app had the same limitations.

If you run the backend on a powerful CAD station server, then AutoCAD starts to be available to all kinds of users, with all kinds of licensing possibilities. The interface would need some work, even running CAD through an RDP connection on my local network feels like I've had one G&T too many.  :-D
