Another architect here…
Thanks for the review, please keep us posted how it goes.
I am an intensive PPC user, and obviously have considered it for CAD. I came to the conclusion that a redline-commenting mobile tool would be very effective. The price has been always what made me think it twice. In addition, CAD Drafting is becoming quite complex (Drawing are composed of several External References, linked files, etc), and portability is not that simple.
I had taken PDF files on my PPC into design meetings, but then the screen size and navigation becomes an issue.
I ended up taking a laptop to coordination meetings and site visits. However, photographic reports, meeting minutes and Schedule management are tasks handled pretty well with a PPC. I have even used Messenger to ask for that critical document to be sent, from inside that critical meeting, in front of an unaware client, from his own unprotected WiFi access point, (It worked!!! :mrgreen: ).
You live and learn I guess.
I have a lot of projects in which the information exchange is done on a Web-based service, (like Buzzsaw), and access all the information (including drawings) from my PPC would be very cool.
