What's New In This Version:
What’s new? Well, everything is! Over the last few months, our team worked hard on improving the experience in our app, making it look more modern and user friendly. We collected all the feedback that you gave us over the last 3.5 years, designed, built, tested and designed again. Finally, we asked for feedback from some of you on the stuff we did, and now we’re ready to release all the work we've done to the world.

Although some features did not make it to this release, such as our GPS support (don't worry, they will be back soon…), we are very excited to share it with you!

You can download AutoCAD 360 from the App Store for free.
